‘And so I have to take some time off work to go get them fixed because if I don’t get them fixed now, then they are going to be permanently damaged and that would be very unfortunate for my job,’ she said.
Fighting back tears, Carrie said, talking about her break and her health issues was making her ‘upset’.
‘I’ll be fine, sorry … I don’t know why it’s making me so upset. I just don’t like letting people down, and I don’t like letting myself down.
‘I also really love my job, and I don’t want to be forced to never do it again,’ she continued.
‘So I’m gonna take some time off and go get it fixed.’
Carrie said that she did not know how long her treatment would take or when she would be back on air.
Elsewhere in the segment, Carrie admitted that her voice had not been ‘right’ for some time.
It comes after Carrie revealed the terrifying extent of an injury she sustained to her head while she was taking a break from work last month.

Sharing an update on her Instagram last month, she said she cut an artery after running into a wall, with the wound reaching the bone.
After revealing that the moment looked like a ‘crime scene’, Carrie shared that she has since undergone treatment for muscle and nerve damage.
Taking to her stories with a photo showing her skull wrapped in a bandage, the radio star shared graphic details about her accident in the caption.
‘So it appears I cut [my scalp] to the bone and cut an artery,’ she began.
‘So the surgeon had to repair nerve and muscle damage! Hurts so much, but on the mend now.’
Carrie had previously shared grisly photos of her open wound, explaining she had ‘walked into the corner of a wall’.
An enormous gash had opened up on her head as a result, with Carrie describing the moment in gory detail.
‘Walked into the corner of the wall over the break. Looked like a crime scene. Blood spurting from my head,’ she wrote.
‘Got it glued back together so I could go on holiday with my family the next day. Turns out I have hit a nerve. Healing terribly. And hurting.
‘Also randomly had a lady drop her carry-on suitcase on my head. God, it hurt.’
