I am going slightly deaf in my right ear. It's tinnitus... something like that.

I can't be quiet, as that's when I notice the ringing in my ears.

I am tone deaf.

I'm totally deaf in my right ear, yeah.

I have serious hearing loss. I'm challenged if I don't have my hearing aids in.

I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.

I don't know what caused my tinnitus, but I started to become aware of a very low ringing noise in my right ear, which is now constantly there.

I can't bear the silent ringing in my skull.

So I'm half deaf - and dyslexic. How about that? Nobody's perfect, and I'm proud of my defects.

In 1967, I found out I was losing my hearing. I went 10 years without any help. I had otosclerosis - hardening of the bone in the middle of the ear.
