WWE News Roundup: Possible Roman Reigns-Seth Rollins feud, Brock Lesnar called "unprofessional", Bray Wyatt breaks silence (May 21, 2021)

#2 WWE legend Mick Foley's daughter, Noelle, diagnosed with a rare hearing disorder

WWE legend Mick Foley's daughter, Noelle, recently revealed that she had been diagnosed with hyperacusis, a rare hearing disorder, back in February. Hyperacusis is often called sound or noise sensitivity, as the disorder is characterized by an increased sensitivity to normal environmental sounds.

In Noelle Foley's case, a concussion she suffered in 2019 is responsible for said diagnosis. The WWE legend's daughter took to Twitter to reveal her battles with the hearing disorder:

"I've kept this to myself for quite some time, because I honestly just didn't want to talk about it, but in February I was clinically diagnosed with a rare hearing disorder called Hyperacusis," Noelle stated. "Hyperacusis is when you have an extremely low tolerance to noise and most sounds are physically painful. My Hyperacusis was brought on by my concussion in 2019, and it was mild in the beginning, but unfortunately it has gotten worse over time."

"I've had several HORRIBLE setbacks in my recovery due to sounds, making it feel like my full recovery is light years away," Noelle continued. "If any of you are living with Hyperacusis you know darn well that it is an EXTREMELY debilitating condition to live with. It'd recently been severely affecting my every day life from grocery shopping, driving, restaurants, and even just being around people, including my family."

In the Twitter exchange posted below, you can read Noelle's entire statement, followed by former WWE Superstar CM Punk's encouraging reply to the same.

Hang in there!

Noelle Foley trained to become a professional wrestler, just like her father, at one point in time. However, she had to drop those plans due to an injury. The WWE legend's daughter also admitted to struggling with additional issues such as tinnitus, phonophobia, and misophonia.

On a positive note, Noelle stated that she is now officially part of a clinical study for hyperacusis intervention. She hopes that taking this step will help her as well as other hyperacusis patients in terms of developing a successful treatment.
