Thanks, thats more info than I've seen put together before. After reading that I'd brush off the miraculous healing I read about to being nothing more than a lame try by Avex for publicity. Hopefully it was tinnitus because I've seen a new treatment advertised for that and it removes the ringing in the ears.

But if she was told it's incurable, her continuing to perform may have caused more damage than any medicine helps.

After reading that article, maybe she's saying that she's going deaf in her right ear now, too.

probably, at the time that info was released she said she was told she would lose hearing in her left ear and gradually her right ear would go through the same process.

^ I thought her right ear was in perfect condition, though? Then again, it could be like what you said with her right ear gradually losing it's hearing... I didn't imagine it would be in 4-5 years, though :/

Well, look at everything she does per year.

Thats just it, she's not careful at all after all the warnings and each concert she performs is noise she's supposed to stay away from. Avex doesn't care if they push her til she's deaf or dead as long as they make more money off her 1st.
