Olivia Rodrigo says she has partial hearing loss in her left ear, describing herself as “60% deaf” during a recent interview. According to reports from multiple outlets, she tells the interviewers that she learned about the condition through a hearing test when she was in kindergarten. The singer frames the disclosure as a personal health detail and notes that there are “quite a lot” of issues affecting her.
In the accounts, Rodrigo’s comments come as she discusses her hearing and related experiences. The reports also mention that her interview partners were surprised by the revelation after she shared the extent of her hearing loss in one ear.
The coverage focuses on the same core points: Rodrigo publicly confirms she is substantially deaf in her left ear, and she says the information traces back to an early childhood hearing assessment in kindergarten. None of the sources provide additional medical details beyond the extent of hearing loss and how she discovered it.
