Sugar Ray Star Mark McGrath Reveals He's Going Deaf

Mark McGrath is sadly going deaf.

The “Fly” Sugar Ray star provided the update to DailyMailTV.

“I’m deaf now. I cannot hear any more. It’s years and years of being on the road and being two feet in front of cymbals and drums. So high frequencies, I can’t hear anymore. I’ll be listening to people and they’ll tell me their names and I can’t hear anymore,” he explained.

“It’s scary because my job is hearing. [The future] is absolutely a worry of mine.”

“Fortunately for the new generation, they have in-ears,” he added of in-ear hearing aids.

“I’m dumb enough not to use them though. I still need the sight, sounds and smells of a concert and that includes the auditory part, but unfortunately, mine’s going.”
