Nhlanhla Mafu opens up about losing her hearing
South African singer and fashion designer Nhlanhla Mafu recently made headlines after sharing that she will showcase her clothing brand, NN Vintage, at NYC Fashion Week 2024.
Recently, the star opened up about losing her hearing a few years ago. According to Daily Sun, Mafu shared that she has been in denial about losing her hearing.
She lost about 60% of her hearing in her left ear and 30% in her right ear, and she has been embarrassed about her condition, not wanting to accept it:
"I realised my hearing level was lower. I struggled to hear conversations and often had to read lips. I've lost significant hearing."
Mafu further told the publication that her diagnosis confirmed her fears:
"For a while, I was in denial and didn't want to accept what was happening because hearing loss is often associated with old age. I felt ashamed of losing my hearing.
"Going to the doctor for confirmation wasn't easy. Eventually, I could tell it was getting worse. I realised I wasn't helping myself by ignoring it. I needed to seek help."
The Mafikizolo singer now uses hearing aids and has found a lease on life, allowing her to converse with others.
