News: Foxy Brown is Losing Her Hearing

"Rapper Foxy Brown is slowly losing her hearing after being diagnosed with a rare condition that affects one in 10,000 people.

The rap star, real name Inga Marchand, started worrying about her hearing at the beginning of the year when pal and label boss Jay-Z told her the sound levels on her new album, Black Roses, were way too high, when she thought they were perfect.

Then Brown started missing calls on her cell phone, because she didn't hear the ring tone, and eventually she found she couldn't hear people unless they spoke really loudly.

The true horror of her condition hit Brown on May 23 when she woke up and realized she was deaf."
