^I'm not sad in the least bit. (Sure, it's not the best thing that's happened to her, but I'm not in a corner crying my eyes out.) Yes, it sucks, but she's blessed that she still has her hearing in her other ear. So many people in the Deaf world are born Deaf with hearing parents, are isolated in the hearing world, and are shunned by their parents because they think their child is "different." There's also a lack of communication because their parents do not know how to teach or speak SL.
Ayumi has been singing for almost ten years now, with her hearing in her ear slowly diminishing. When you look at it, she's got it better than so many other people. I feel that fans are treating this bit of "shocking news" as the end of the world when, in reality, it could be the start of something new!

Diseases exist, and even the richest people might not be free from some of them. ayu doesn't need PITY or compassion. As a fan, I respect her and hope she'll be strong even with the hardships she's going to endure with that problem. We should take her example of being strong and be strong ourselves, instead of crying in corners and feeling pity. It could be one of us, there are fans who actually have health impairments, and maybe we might have one of a sort someday, so I hope it will help us to go through such hard situations with our heads lifted.
