Leading Bollywood singer Alka Yagnik said that she has been diagnosed with ‘a rare sensorineural nerve hearing loss’, due to a ‘sudden viral attack’. On Monday, in a long Instagram post, the singer revealed why she had been ‘missing in action’ and asked for their ‘support and understanding’.
“To all my fans, friends, followers and well-wishers. A few weeks ago, as I walked out of a flight, I suddenly felt I was not able to hear anything. Having mustered some courage in the weeks following the episode, I want to break my silence now for all my friends and well-wishers who have been asking me why I’m missing in action. It has been diagnosed by my docs as a rare sensorineural nerve hearing loss, due to a viral attack…this sudden, major setback has caught me completely unaware,” Yagnik said in the Instagram post.
“For my fans and young colleagues, I would add a word of caution regarding exposure to very loud music and headphones. One day, I wish to share the health perils of my professional life. With all your love and support, I am hoping to recalibrate my life and, come back to you soon. Your support and understanding will mean the world to me in this critical hour…,” she said.
Currently, there is no surgical option to treat SNHL. According to Healthline, the most common options are hearing aids and cochlear implants to help you compensate for hearing loss.
