Jessie J stated that she woke up and felt like she was completely deaf in her right ear, couldn’t walk in a straight line.
She continued: "Basically I got told I had Meniere’s syndrome. 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."
Jessie J added that she was glad that she went early and the doctors worked out what it was really quick and got put on the right medicine, adding: "so I feel a lot better today.".
On Christmas Day, she took to Instagram to share selfie, where she confirmed in her caption that she had been diagnosed with Meniere’s syndrome.

In another post, Jessie J described her experience with the condition, noting that when she sang loud, it sounds like someone is trying to run out of her ear.
She added: "I'm now watching Queen’s Gambit with my finger in my ear. I’ve done the first episode four times because I [have] zero focus and my ear sounds like someone crawled in and turned a hairdryer on."
On Saturday, the performer shared a video of herself singing, seemingly in good spirits, two days after she revealed that she was hospitalized after Meniere's disease.
