Celebrities who have tinnitus

Danny McNamara

Danny McNamara, musician from the Band Embrace.

Five years on and I've learned to live with it, pretty much. I have days when it gets me down but not many. All I want to say is if you've just discovered you've got tinnitus don't despair. Although it never goes away it does stop bringing you down after a while. If you haven't got tinnitus for God's sake take care of your ears before it's too late."

Russell Grant

"When I first experienced tinnitus, I thought it was actually my neighbours playing music loudly!  There must be many more people like me, and I urge anyone who thinks they might have tinnitus and would like help to contact RNID for information on what they can do to manage it."

Moby

Musician, Moby.

"When I first started playing in bands I never wore hearing protection and we played as loud as we possibly could. One night I came home from a punk rock show and my ears were ringing, as they often did. And they were still ringing the next day. And the next. Ever since then I've always worn some sort of hearing protection when exposed to very loud music because I realised that once my hearing is gone it will never return."
