The "Remember Me" singer, 32, disclosed her illness in a recent Instagram live in which she revealed that she struggled to hear, sing, or even walk in a straight line.

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."

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.
