Ringing in your ear? It could be a sign you're just moments from going deaf
The day that changed model and actress Jessica-Jane Clement’s life started ordinarily enough.
The Real Hustle and I’m A Celebrity star — who has been voted one of the world’s most desirable women — was at home in London with her then boyfriend.
Aged just 20 at the time, she was in perfect health.
Jess was sitting on the sofa when she suddenly heard a ringing in her right ear.
A few hours later when the ringing wore off, she realised her hearing in that ear had gone.
‘It was so quick,’ recalls Jess, now 27, who recently married hairdresser Lee Stafford.
‘When I spoke to my mum on the phone a few hours later, I thought it was broken because I couldn’t hear what she was saying.
‘Then the penny dropped that I could not hear.
'I didn’t know what to do, so my boyfriend called the hospital and they said, “oh give it six weeks, her hearing should come back by then”.
The impression I got was it was just one of those things, and would resolve itself.’
However, her symptoms worsened.
Later that evening she felt giddy and was sick.
‘The next morning I felt like I’d been on a really heavy night out — the whole room felt as if it was spiralling,’ says Jess.
This continued for two weeks — but embarrassed by the rebuff from the hospital, Jess didn’t seek medical advice, deciding instead to stay with her mother in Sheffield.
‘I felt so rotten that I went up on the train in my pyjamas with a coat over me,’ says Jess.

My doc told me it was a virus in my hearing. I did remember not seeking medical attention right away i thought it was gonna resolve itself but it didn't.
