Jessie J, a singer, songwriter and coach on the UK Television reality show “The Voice,” says she has been diagnosed with Meniere’s disease.
The 32-year-old singer took to Instagram Live to share the news. According to Ménière’s Society, Meniere’s is a progressive condition that affects the inner ear. It results in balance and hearing problems.

Shortly before Christmas, Jessie J told fans that she experienced sudden hearing loss in her right ear. When the singer took to Instagram last month, she said that the attack rendered her “completely deaf in my right ear.” She also said she was unable to “walk in a straight line.”
“Basically I got told I had Meniere’s syndrome,” she said. “I know that a lot of people suffer from it and I’ve actually had a lot of people reach out to me and give me great advice, so I’ve just been laying low in silence.”
