Whoopi Goldberg's Hearing Loss

Whoopi Goldberg now wears small hearing aids to help her pick up low tones, according to the National Enquirer. The tabloid quotes the Oscar winning actress as saying, "I attribute my own hearing loss - which, by the way, is suffered by thousands of people in varying degrees - to years and years of listening to music so loudly and so close to the delicate ear drum." She attended the Starkey Hearing Foundation's awards presentation last month in Minnesota. Goldberg is now warning young music fans to protect their hearing.
