How did Jennifer Lawrence go deaf?

Jennifer Lawrence, an American actress went partially deaf while filming “Catching Fire,” the 2013 second instalment in “The Hunger Games” film franchise.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Jennifer Lawrence explained that due to all of the diving she had to do for the film, she developed an ear infection and ended up with a punctured eardrum. As a result, she was deaf in one ear for months.

“That wasn’t physically challenging. It was just ear challenging,” Lawrence said of the injury. “Because I got all of these ear infections from the diving and the water and all of that stuff. And then a jet from one of the cornucopia scenes punctured my eardrum.” Yikes!

It wasn’t the first time that Lawrence suffered while filming for the film franchise. Jennifer Lawrence also suffered a minor injury while filming a scene for “The Hunger Games” in 2012, which resulted in her being rushed to a nearby hospital.

She told The Hollywood Reporter that she thought she’d ruptured her spleen. “I had to do ten ‘wall runs,’ in which you run as hard as you can against the wall to gain traction. I ran at it, but my foot didn’t go up, so I hit the wall with my stomach.
