I'm sure her doctor made her well aware in 2000 that if she didn't cancel the Dome Tour that her ear wouldn't heal.
I think that the doctors only talked about her leg and the risks that she was taking by performing with a sprained[?] leg..

But that's all I recall about the doctors in DT01. I don't believe they ever stated why her ear started to freak out during ct2000 and DT01. Watch the documentary that NTV did for further proof. (in ct2000, I remember that they thought it was a bad ear infection and canceled some shows in the 2nd leg)..

Info from the ROCKIN' ON JAPAN article from masa [AMAZING MASAAAA]:

(A) Well, I was very uneasy when I started the nationwide concert tour. I felt like drawing back when singing the second song or so, which I know is very impolite. I wondered why. I had been looking forward to the tour and every staff had made great efforts to prepare for it, but I felt something different on the very first day from what I had imagined. I couldn't enjoy at all. I had been wondering why while I was doing the Act 1 (the first half of the tour). After finishing the Act 1, I had to cancel some concerts of the Act 2 because of the ear disease. But I could rest then. I could have a time calm and not busy in the hospital, for example. I thought then I had wished strongly before as, "Look at me, everyone ! I'm here !" and had made efforts to make them turn toward me. I didn't know what a live concert was like, as I hadn't done it before then. But, when I first appeared on the live stage, I had already been looked at, by about 20,000 eyes, before I said, "Look at Ayu ! I'm here !"
And Meniere's is what I was hinting at. So many other artists do tours all the time, so why is it that Ayu is the one who loses hearing in ONE ear? You know what I'm getting at, right? The concerts had a small part in it, sure.. but the sole reason as to why she lost her hearing loss? I don't think so.
