We are delighted to have had our Radio 4 appeal read by Sir George Martin. Click here to listen to the appeal online.
Sir George Martin is a music industry legend, perhaps best known for producing The Beatles. He has worked with an astonishing array of talented artists – click here to learn more about his amazing career. Sir George suffers from progressive hearing loss and tinnitus due to a combination of noise-induced hearing damage and age-related wear and tear. He wears two hearing aids and is proud to be Vice-President of Deafness Research UK. To hear Sir George speak about the moment he knew he'd lost his hearing, please see the March 13th entry on the Radio 4 Blog.
During the appeal, Sir George delivers the following important hearing health messages. Please click on each message to learn more.
- Remember your hearing is delicate so protect it from loud noise.
- Have your hearing tested right away if you notice any problems. Unfortunately, if you leave it you’ll lose it.
