Rick Astley Opens Up About Hearing Loss and Using Hearing Aids

Hearing loss is a common condition that can affect anyone, even pop legend Rick Astley, who performed on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury this year. In a recent interview, the 57-year-old singer candidly discussed his experience with hearing loss, and how he's come to terms with the issues it’s caused him by seeking professional help.

Rick Astley of "Never Gonna Give You Up” fame revealed that he has been dealing with hearing loss for decades, as a result of being exposed to damaging levels of sound during his career in music. Astley's story highlights the fact that hearing loss can affect people of all ages, and that it’s never too early to seek help.

Astley shared that he now regularly wears hearing aids – specifically in social situations, where he once found it impossible to enjoy conversations with friends and family. He revealed how his life has been much improved by the use of hearing aids.
