I was just diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss...enough to justify hearing aids.A bit scary...but by no means disabling at this point.But I’m told it’s likely to get worse in time.

Don't know if Bolivian Marching Powder can do it but exposure to loud noise certainly can.

I have never met anybody who served 20 years in the Navy without any hearing loss.

Morrissey wearing a hearing aid on Top of the Pops Supposedly, a fan had written him and she didn't wear her necessary hearing aid, because the other kids made fun of her. So he wore one on TV.

The senior band I’m in has a 99.5 year old. She’s an inspiration.

I wonder if it is from excessive noise exposure or something else.

My son and I went to see Coldplay in August. We noticed that Chris Martin and everyone else in his band wore hearing protection. We were using hearing protection, as well.

I’ve recently learned that I have a condition that can lead to deafness. For now, it will just be monitored.

I don’t know your age....but DO NOT invest in those expensive hearing aids. He kept losing them. My step-dad had a portable unit with a microphone. Soooo much better.

“Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars.”

Keith Moon would do that in a night.

LOL. Yeah, Keith has a few years on Eric, as well.

But it’s Eric’s former bandmate, Ginger Baker that’s the real wonder of nature.
