Meniere's disease is characterized by sudden hearing losses and vertigo that reverts after a relapse. However, at time, as the disease progresses, the recovery is only partial and can lead to permanent hearing loss without chance of cure.
On the other hand, I believe there are surgeries (baha implant or maybe there might be something newer) that can transmit sounds transmitted to one side and deliver it to the opposite healthy ear through bone conduction. ayu could have done such surgery, which doesn't take the fact that her lost ear can't be recovered even with surgery anymore. People with unilateral hearing loss aren't as doomed to complete handicap as those with bilateral.
