The AudioNotch Tinnitus Treatment Blog

Unsurprisingly, the prevalence of tinnitus among famous musicians who tour and perform extensively appears to be extremely high (at least anecdotally). Consider the case of Barbra Streisand – yet another victim of what appears to be noise induced hearing loss, and subsequent sensorineural tinnitus:

Streisand, writes Mann, suffers from tinnitus, or ringing in her ears, when she’s in a stressful situation. He theorizes that the noisy audiences exacerbated the tinnitus and led to her abruptly walk off the stage in the middle of one of her numbers.

Galpern, Free Press reviewer Gene Telpner and the musicians in the band, were all impressed with Streisand’s talent.

Galpern, however, told Streisand that it was unacceptable for her to walk off the stage. Streisand and Galpern, alleges Mann, argued, and Streisand feared that she’d been fired.

The stress of tinnitus is something that can negatively impact a person’s performance at work – be they musicians or otherwise.
