^^She lost her hearing way before CDL07-08. O_O It was just made public at that point. And sure the deafness is sad-- but if an artist went blind, do you think people would still praise their work out of pity?

For being partially deaf, Ayu does absolutely amazing, yeah. But she was partially deaf during the peak of her career too, so it doesn't excuse what's happening now. I think the problem is that since she made the issue public, she's felt the need to try harder and she's hurt her voice by trying to do too much with it.

She needs to cool it for a while and maybe a vocal coach wouldn't be a bad idea to help her break some bad habits she's formed (like the trying-to-be-powerful screaming thing.)
