Ayu's left ear

I don't post so often here, but I wanted to share the following observation
I read in 2ch about Ayu's left ear.
I understand it is clear to all of us that Ayu has completely lost audition on her left ear.
But in 2ch, a guy found this particular situation that probably none of us observed before.
In the following video, at the second #51, you can see SHU-YA mumbling on Ayu's left ear.

And here, another video where a different dancer does the same on stage:

It is kind of suspicious, but who knows how loud he 'whispered' to her? And I don't know what else she'd have done in this situation... turn her head all the way around so her good ear could hear what he's saying? Or have Shu-ya go to the other side and whisper to her?

I think he's not really whispering but talking in a normal voice. We can't hear it in the video as they didn't speak into the microphones. Timmy doesn't seem to whisper either when talking to her.

Yes, when she made a statement about it she said that she completely lost hearing in her left ear. She put off the option for surgery too long and lost her chance; it's irreparable.

That's probably what's going on. I think it'd probably be pretty difficult to hear otherwise even with the ability to hear. Weren't there a ton of fans present at this event screaming?

I wonder how much she can actually hear though... I mean during concerts she wears both ear pieces... There would be no reason to wear one in the left ear if she cant hear... or "it doesn't work anymore..."

I wonder how much it "doesn't" work...

guys, I made some research about Ménière's disease some time ago and I found out that a patient can recover and the hearing can be completely restored.

so I hope she CAN hear nowadays.

about the concert earphones. i think thats more for a balance issue. you know ears are not only for hearing right. that explains also why during encores she usually takes the left one off since theres not much intense motion involved

The doctor's diagnosis was that it had gotten to the point where she can no longer recover though. And I don't think we ever got confirmation that it was Meniere's.

The simple answer about the earbuds is that they come in a set of two and there's no reason to chop the other one off or not wear it.

We can also say that it's because it's cute. Since some years, her earbuds have strass. She maybe just want to wear both.

maybe... I don't know...
It just always seems weird to me to see that and think why wear when you cant hear?
Balance is a good point, but I have been on the tread mill many times with only one ear bud in so that I can listen to my music and listen to what is going on around me...

Thats what makes me wonder how much she can actually hear.. the way she describe it just makes it seem like its not working the way she wants it too... lol, if that makes any sense.

It doesn't really make sense. She's already said she lost all function in her left ear. What more do you need?

i think Shuya was leaning in so she could hear him better over the translator and the crowd. i don't think he was actually whispering though.

and omg her english has improved alot, and i always loved her motto "think for today, not yesterday or tomorrow."
