<p>According to <a href="http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Mask_De_Masculine#cite_note-38" rel="nofollow">Bleach Wiki</a>, Superstar's ability:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The Superstar (英雄 (ザ・スーパースター), Eiyū (Za Sūpāsutā); Japanese for
  "Hero"): Mask gains a considerable amount of zeal, stamina, and
  strength when he has at least one other person cheering him on, enough
  to send two captain-level Shinigami flying with a single strike.
  He grows durable enough to become resistant to a repeated direct
  attack from Kensei's Bankai. The power also allows him to
  regenerate from damage, with James's cheers healing his damaged
  eardrums.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>It's indeed strange, as he could not listen to James cheering, but as you can see it's never mentioned the word "hear" or "listen".</p>

<p>So we can assume that he don't need to listen to the cheers. James only had be there, cheering, that's enough to active his ability.  </p>

<p>He receives the benefits of the cheering even though he could not hear the cheers of James as seen in <a href="http://www.mangapanda.com/bleach/562/7" rel="nofollow">this page</a>, <a href="http://www.mangapanda.com/bleach/562/8" rel="nofollow">this page</a>, and <a href="http://www.mangapanda.com/bleach/562/9" rel="nofollow">this page</a>.</p>

<p>The "S" quincy has the special ability to fully recover from damage after hearing the cheers of his followers.</p>

<p>However, how did he recover from his wounds after destroying his eardrums in his fight with the Captain of the 3rd Division?</p>

How did the "S" quincy heal his eardrums?
