Even the HULK struggles with his hearing. Lou Ferrigno lost 75-80% of his hearing due to ear infections as a baby. He's been wearing hearing aids since he was 5! Later in life, he received a cochlear implant that restored some of his hearing.
He says, "I think my hearing loss helped create a determination within me to be all that I can be, and gave me a certain strength of character too. Anytime I do a movie or a TV show, I make them aware of my hearing loss at the beginning, and that makes it much easier for all of us to communicate and get the job done."
Great advice from today's birthday boy. Remember... if you struggle with hearing, you're not alone. And we're "hear" to help with your journey.
