Overview
- Edgar‑Jones told Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast on Friday, October 16, 2026, that she thinks she is slightly deaf in her left ear after shooting the 2024 film Twisters.
- She said the hearing issue followed repeated exposure to staged storms, strong wind and debris on set and noted crews sometimes paused filming in Oklahoma for real storms.
- The actress previously described Twisters as stunt‑heavy and told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024 that she became enthusiastic about doing stunts during production.
- No public medical diagnosis or studio statement has been released to confirm the permanence of her hearing loss, and at least one outlet characterized the effect as permanent based on her podcast comments.
- The report raises questions about on‑set safety during large practical effects shoots and suggests the next steps to watch for are medical confirmation and any response from the film’s production team.
