YEAH!!!! I also mentioned that disease as one of the main possibilities as well!

(Even though I'm no otological specialist). Finally we get a specialist view on the matter and they also have a simillar thought. They don't mention acoustic trauma! I knew acoustic trauma was very unlikely, because ayu only has one affected ear, and she also didn't quit the music scene. ayu is surely not a self destructive person and I'm sure had her hearing loss been caused by the loud noise of the concerts, she'd already had taken a break or quit her career
