A post on Joel’s social media said he has been recently diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, and it has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, impacting his hearing, vision, and balance.
NPH is a condition that happens when cerebrospinal fluid builds up inside the skull and puts pressure on the brain. It is often treatable and “sometimes even reversible,” but treatment involves surgery, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
