Dark-Goth-wave legend GARY NUMAN had a chat recently
with the host of I’m ADHD! No You’re Not podcast.

He said: “I’ve got hearing aids on so I can hear what you’re doing. I’m 90 per cent deaf.”

NME: “According to a report by the Hearing Health Foundation, musicians are four times more likely to develop noise-induced hearing loss when compared to the general public because of repeated exposure to loud sounds, and are 57 per cent more likely to develop tinnitus.”
