Foxy Brown Losing Hearing
Sunday, October 16, 2005 By: Michael Ivey
Foxy Brown aka Inga Marchand suffers from a very rare disorder that has disabled her hearing. Now 26, the ten year recording vet realized her problem when boss Jay-Z told her the levels on her up coming LP “Black Roses” were too high in early ‘05.
Marchand was later diagnosed with severe sudden sensorineural hearing loss, a condition that reportedly effects only 1 in 10,000. She told People Magazine, “all along, I'm feeling my hearing going slowly, but I'm thinking, 'God would never do this.”
After ineffective steroid treatment Marchand tried to ignore the problem, but eventually underwent surgery which restored twenty percent of her hearing.
The first artist signed under Def Jam’s “Carter Administration” is currently undergoing surgery and treatment to save her hearing, which she says could have been totally restored according to doctors, “if I had attacked the problem when I first realized my hearing was going.”
