STING admits to being 'fairly deaf' but won't wear hearing aid

11 November 2016

Veteran rocker STING has learned to live with hearing issues because he refuses to wear an aid.

The former POLICE frontman has suffered from tinnitus for years. He admitted he once turned to a hearing device in a bid to fix the problem, but he wasn’t a fan.

“I’m fairly deaf and ‘What?’ is my favourite word,” Sting joked during SiriusXM’s Artist Confidential show. “I tried wearing a hearing aid, but I heard more than I wanted to hear! People talk a lot of s***!”

STING recently played down the seriousness of his condition, admitting at his age, all of his senses aren’t what they used to be.

“I’m not as deaf as Brian (Johnson, AC/DC singer),” he told Telegraph.co.uk last month, “but I’m not sure what to do about it. I need glasses to read. Hey, I’m 65.”
