Drummer Rupert Brown battles severe tinnitus after a traumatic gig, but continues performing with help from Tinnitus UK.
Drummer Rupert Brown, who has played with Cher, Annie Lennox, and the Lighthouse Family, said he felt his life was over after being diagnosed with severe tinnitus, a condition causing persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears.
After a traumatic gig at Ronnie Scott's, he experienced eight intense tinnitus sounds simultaneously, leading to a perforated eardrum and near-fainting.
He struggled to cope, using loud music to mask the noise.
Despite the lasting impact, Brown continues performing and teaching, crediting Tinnitus UK’s earplugs and research for helping him manage the condition.
The charity, led by CEO Alex Brooks-Johnson, is pushing for better hearing protection at live events.
The NHS defines tinnitus as internal sounds that may be constant or intermittent and affect one or both ears.
