Personal injury news

Eric Clapton could undergo tinnitus treatment in the future

Eric Clapton has admitted that after years of performing at loud concerts he has developed tinnitus.

The 61-year-old guitarist is known for his hits including 'Tears in Heaven and 'Sunshine of your love' and has played at a number of arenas throughout the world to thousands of adoring fans.

But after developing tinnitus symptoms in recent years it would appear that Clapton has suffered a minor personal injury as a result of performing at so many loud concerts.

The singer has admitted that he suffers from only a mild case of tinnitus, which could need tinnitus treatment in the future.

He said, "My hearing isn't ruined but if I stop and listen, I've got whistling all the time, which I suppose is mild tinnitus.

"I probably had two 100-watt stacks at the height of things and I would turn one on for solos. Just mad."
