In September of last year, the actress and comedian Maly Jorquiere revealed that she had to undergo surgery after being diagnosed Hereditary Degenerative Bilateral Otosclerosisa disease that causes hearing problems.
Although the television personality was born with the disease, it was only after his time in Mekano who discovered her and everything happened as a result of an accident.
Between 2004 and 2005, the comedian joined the ranks of the youth program to record the teleseries “Xfea2”, “Escool” and “Mitú”, where she began her career on television, however, she was recording a scene for one of these productions. that the comedian suffered a ruptured eardrum.
“They took me diving and I didn’t decompress as I should have at 15 meters and my eardrum burst, I was deaf for two days”he said in a preview of this Sunday’s program We can talk to which BioBioChile had access.
However, Maly Jorquiere admitted that she did not pay importance to the accident, so she let it go: “I didn’t fish, then pregnancy comes and the hormones accelerate my disability.”
With this, the years passed and on his son’s second birthday he had a new episode related to the disease: “Like any disability, it is very terrible. For my son’s birthday he felt something in his ear, like he had water and he couldn’t hold it anymore, so I go to the ENT doctor and he tells me that he had a injury to the eardrum“, he said.
But the condition manifested itself on other occasions, even more everyday: “Sergio (Freire) comes from behind, touches me and says ‘I’ve been calling you for 5 minutes’ and I can’t believe it, so I go to the doctor, they do the tests.” and there they tell me that I have bilateral otosclerosis (in both ears) inherited from my mother, but my mother always said that we spoke loudly because we were Italian,” he stated about the way in which he finally reached the diagnosis.
According to the US National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, bilateral otosclerosis consists of “abnormal hardening of body tissue.” Bone remodeling is a natural and permanent process in which tissue is renewed, but in the case of this disease, abnormal remodeling disrupts the ability of sound to travel from the middle ear to the inner ear.
The institute’s statistics indicate that the disease affects more than three million people in the northern country alone and that middle-aged women are those most at risk of developing or inheriting it.
