Jessie J talks about suffering from Meniere’s disease after being hospitalized

January 3 ------ Singer Jessie J is now doing well after being hospitalized on Christmas Eve for Meniere’s disease. According to mayoclinic.org, Meniere’s disease “is a disorder of the inner ear that can lead to dizzy spells (vertigo) and hearing loss.”

In an Instagram stories video according to Entertainment Weekly, the “Bang Bang’ singer recalled how the condition affected her. “I woke up basically and felt like I was completely deaf in my right ear, couldn’t walk in a straight line. Basically, I got told I had Meniere 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,” she added.

Jessie said it could “be way worse” but said she is grateful for her good condition. "It just threw me off. On Christmas Eve I was in the ear hospital going, 'What is going on?' But I'm glad I went early and they worked out what it was real quick and I got put on the right medicine, so I feel a lot better today." Jessie has since assured her fans that she is fine, posting a video of her singing on December 26.
