It really just depends on the individual ears of each person. If a person had ears as a child that easily got ear infections, they are much more likely to develop hearing problems as an adult especially if they are constantly in high decibel situations.

The other factor is the type of music that is played. Artists that primarily use pre-recorded music are not as likely to have their ears affected as those that are part of a live band.

The other factor is time and rest. These ear problems started way back in the 2000 tour. It was then that she should have properly rested, gotten treatment, and learn about how to protect her ear, before going full steam ahead into the Dome tour where permanent damage was done.
