um, what the hell?

huh

Transcripted from the tiny text there:

"Coldplay star Chris Martin has fought a secret 10-year battle with the crippling ear condition, tinnitus. Chris, 35, was told the agonising (?) ringing in his ears could end his pop career. The singer, who now wears earplugs on stage, said "I wish I'd thought about it earlier"."

If this is true, I feel very sorry for him

It's very annoying, like a high-pitched electronic tone that's constantly there.

Twisted mind · 03-05-2012, 11:41 PM

Yeah, I think most of the people know what tinnitus is. IT SUCKS BALLS to be precisely

InvaderXyl42 · 03-05-2012, 11:49 PM

It could possibly be true, but I'm skeptical of it due to the media's knack for blowing things Chris says out of proportion

It's the Daily Mirror after all

golfing7861 · 03-05-2012, 11:55 PM

Aw I really hope this isn't true!

Why shouldn't it be true?

It's caused by constant exposure to loud noise. That's how I got it.

He's had loud music blasting his ears for about 15 years.

A lot of professional musicians have at least some degree of tinnutus. That said, it's less common among performers who use modern in ear monitors, which Chris (and the rest of the band) have done from the start of their career. I call BS on this one based on the fact that there are Parachutes era photos where Chris can clearly be seen with proper ear monitors which offer a good amount of protection. Some tinnutus, yes. Crippling Tinnutus, probably not.

Daily Mirror it's the same kind of newpaper that The Sun Magazine.

I will not believe anything until this is not Chris himself who says it.

or they want a summary of conditions of exposure of tinnitus.

Spoiler

Poor Chris if that's true. Tinnitus must suck, especially for a musician. Hope it's not true

That's why I said 'it's possible'. The problem is with a lot of these online articles declaring things that celebrities supposedly said, they offer little to no proof of what they are trying to say. As fakfak has said, it's probably a case of he has got it to some degree, but it might not be as bad as they say. Articles like this almost always exaggerate their headlines to get readers, so I've just become very skeptical of them

Oh my god...What the hell this must be a joke.. If this is a joke ..is not funny at all..poor baby Chris!!!

Dear Chesse Nip 2, How is the future? Do they have jet packs? Did gorillas take over the world? Has Car Kids been released yet? If so can you email me a copy from your brain (obviously where data is stored in the future). Well, good luck with those terminators! Sincerley, Cheese Nip 2
