This article/news about Ayu and her left ear has got people coming to conclusions that there was a "10th anniversary miracle" causing her left ear to regain hearing ability now.
someone on my livejournal's friend's list in a community for ayu :

No. Way.
Oh my god. I'm reduced to speechlessness because... wow. Just... wow. It apparently reduced her fans and Ayu herself to tears too, during her encore.
So now I'm confused, as I can't read anything in that link posted. Haha. Hmm *weighs options*...did she magically regain hearing in her left ear on the first concert of her 10 anniversary, or was it just to show she wanted the audience to scream louder...decisions, decisions
