I hadnt heard Rush talk abt this on the air at all. But Im not an every day every hour listener. I do however hv hearing loss courtesy of my dumb cover band in the 80s and prolly also frm radio where I have always maxed out the headphone jack.-
RUSH LIMBAUGH took some time away from his show last week to undergo a second cochlear implant surgery. The surgery, announced on his show APRIL 8th, added an implant to restore hearing in his right ear; he received an implant in his left ear 13 years ago.
He said that the current implant has caused his hearing to deteriorate over time, with over half the electrodes in the device detached because they were causing him to develop a facial tic.
The host headed to CALIFORNIA for the surgery.
