Avex artist Alan mentioned ayu in her blog about her hearing loss

[kiseki89]

我们都希望AYU能够早日康复。

关于AYU前辈左耳失聪的事实我们都感到非常遗憾，希望她能早日康复，以后依旧带给大家更多好 听的歌曲。步 迷们也不要太难过，你们的贴和留言我也看到了。我和AYU分在了AVEX同一个制作部门---第4部，AYU的担当古泽先生同时也是我的担当，人非常的好，也很有能力。但是他最近去美国休 假了。。。等 他回来我会转达你们的问候和请求。我明天录音的时候会把你们说的有关：“希望AYU来中国接受 中医治疗”的 事情转答我的制作人菊池一仁老师。他会先帮我转答的。虽然机会渺茫至少她能够感受到中国歌迷的 关爱。告诉大 家吧，其实AYU非常清楚中国有很多歌迷支持她。中国歌迷在AYU心里的分量是很重的。日本的 新闻报道关于 她左耳失聪的事情最早是先公布于中国的歌迷，其次是日本和其他国家的歌迷，这也说明了她对中国 歌迷的信任和 重视。。在这里还是希望AYU前辈能够早日康复。。大家的关心和问候相信她也一定能够感受到的 。。。

All of us wish that Ayu can recover soon

We are rather sympathetic with the news, that dear senior Ayu’s left ear going deaf, and hope that she can recover soon, and continue to bring us many more wonderful songs. Fans of Ayu, don’t be too upset, we have read those messages that you have posted online. I’m in the same department as Ayu in Avex – the 4th one, we also have the same partner, who is a rather kind guy and good at his job. However he went for a vacation in America…
I will convey all your concerns and requests to him once he returns. I will convey all your “please come to China for medical treatment” related messages to my producer tomorrow, who will then pass the message on. Though chances are slim, it is likely that Ayu will be able to feel the concerns from all the Chinese fans. Truth to be told, Ayu does realise that there are many fans in China who are supportive of her, and they are also important to her. The news of her hearing was first made known to Chinese fans, and then later to the Japanese and other fans in various countries. From this, we can see that Ayu’s trust in the Chinese fans and that she values them.. Once again, I hope that she will recover soon, I’m sure that she’ll be able to feel all your care and concerns.

Well the news was leaked out from Ayuchina, which is a Chinese forum. So yeah they knew it first - AHS got this news from AC too...
Btw the Chinese do have great medical history and skills. They don't rely on technology.
