Why does Ayu still wear the monitor in her left ear?

If Ayu has completely gone deaf in her left ear why does she still wear the monitor in that ear during Countdown 2007-2008?

She wasn't aware of her left ear being completely deaf at the time.

no. cuz she had known for a year right? she's been wearing it cuz she was hiding the fact that she lost all hearing in it from everyone but her godmother... no one else knew... so she still wore it in her left ear right?

I don't think that monitor was functioning. It seems as if she knew and was probably blocking out any sound from entering the left ear with it.. if you look closely, she never takes the monitor out of the left ear, whereas she takes the one out of the working right ear numerous times during the concert.


Look how she kinda forgets that the right one is already out and that the left one is a bit.. difficult to take out. D:

Usually during MCs, she takes both out, but she left the left one inside for the whole concert.

^Looking at the gif animation is painful. Her face, that bitter half-smile when taking out the monitor...

I'm tired of seeing that GIF, it's too sad especially since Ayu wants to move on but it's hard when everyone keeps bringing it up >.<; But yeah, not surprised if she left it in there to not worry anyone. Let's move on guys ^^ It's what she wants.

Sorry to have made it, but it was a lot easier than just telling people: "HEY LOOK AT 1:31:30!!" That's not really the time, but.. yeah.

^No one knows for sure, but probably in between the talkin' 2 myself and Together When performances, since that's when she switched to her glittery plugs.

As to why she's still wearing it, I guess it looks better too. Symmetry kinda thing, plus she probably doesn't wanna make it that obvious and draw attention to it, making people feel sorry for her all the time.
