“I support the German Foundation Tinnitus and Hearing Charité because, unfortunately, I myself have suffered from tinnitus for a long time. Therefore, I know what it means to have ‘one’s peace’.

I pay much more attention to my ears and health today than I did many years ago. Because tinnitus can be prevented and you can also live well with it if you take care of yourself and your body and get information in time!”

“For me as a musician, my hearing is the most important sensory organ. Hearing is everything. Of course, I know what it’s like to have tinnitus and that’s why I think research and protection are very important, because that sound drives you crazy. So please, protect young people and workaholics from this terrible noise. Let’s hear some good music!”

“In my role as an ambassador for the British Tinnitus Association, I’ve been working really hard for years to raise awareness of tinnitus among musicians, DJs and even doctors – and most importantly recently – , the government.

One in ten people in the UK suffers from tinnitus, but the government does not support research. That has to change. I put out the album titled ‘I am the one in ten’ in 2016, where every artist on the CD has tinnitus, as well as everyone else involved in the production and release of the record, from the person who designed the cover to the one handling radio promotion. Among the artists involved in the album are Coldplay, Black Eyed Peas and DJ Fresh.

Education is the key to government funding and we must do all we can to get through to those in power. I wish you much success in your educational work in Germany.”
