“We all give too little thought to our hearing. It is only when we lose our ability to hear, which we accept as so normal, that we wake up.
I am a musician and without my ears I would be nothing. 2 years ago I got tinnitus, which will never disappear completely, but thank God does not hinder me professionally. Others were less fortunate. Many of my colleagues share my fate.
With a little discipline and even more education, we can help young people in particular avoid damaging their hearing before it happens. That’s what the German Tinnitus and Hearing Foundation Charité has written on its banner, and I’m happy to help hold that flag high.”
