This latest health update from Poki follows her initialexplanation of her diagnosisin Fall 2022. At first, the streamer said she began experiencing ringing in her ears, which doctors thought might have been an infection.
After medication failed to work and even “made life a living hell” for the streamer, she went to a TMJ specialist, who gave her some “fake teeth” to help realign her bite and speculated that the ringing in her ears may have been from inflammation on the right side of her jaw.
Based on Poki’s most recent update, though, it looks like she’s dealing with tinnitus. Fans and fellow creators are showing her an outpouring of support as she works with health care professionals to seek treatment.
