Recorded Live on Location Los Angeles Ca. Florence Henderson Narrator/MC and Paul Stanley welcome Dr House and provide insight on hearing loss and prevention.
Yep, Brian's dad slapped him hard on the side of his head while cupping his hand. Brian suffered permanent hearing loss in that ear. Such a masterfully beautiful song writer. Same with Paul!
I knew Paul was deaf in one ear. Having only 1 ear to hear out of and doing rock concerts...well I'm glad he's using earplugs and protecting his good ear.
all of what Paul is saying is true. I lost some of my hearing from going to a Megadeth concert...I've never been able to hear well after that. This is true fact. If you have to listen to loud anything...WEAR EARPLUGS.
Headphones drive frequencies into your ears that they are not supposed to handle. Keep these devices at a low volume, when you are listening to music so loudly that it gives you a headache, turn it down!!!
Mr Sniech as mr gene jp Simmons I am a cowboy and have hearing loss also I'm 51 but I am a fellow rock star I dance like a fire ball in my boots then romance the ladies in my wingtip dress shoes ! After all there's only one God of Thunder that's me !
Paul Stanley gives a remarkably informative and motivational speech here. Now, I'm no doctor, but I do know that the reason Paul is deaf in one ear is because of a congenital condition called microtia. It usually affects the right ear, as in Paul's case. The ear is underdeveloped, including the inner ear, resulting in deafness. The outer ear can be surgically reconstructed to resemble a normal human ear, but unfortunately, nothing can be done about the deafness. He also mentions in this clip that he does wear hearing protection in high-decibel environments, and encourages the rest of us to do likewise.
Lori Mullins I know this was a year ago, but getting hearing back from microtia is possible and was at the time of your comment. I have microtia and am getting surgery in the next couple months. All the doctors I've talked to said I can and will get my hearing back once the surgery is done.
Matt Gonzalez That's awesome! I was just made aware of the advances in technology that make it possible for microtia patients to regain hearing, so I apologize if I was mistaken. Good luck on your surgery! :)
Matt Gonzalez she is right, she is just describing paul's condition and not everybody with microtia has your same luck, some people lack the canal and have other conditions in which the interior is totally useless, that's why they put levels microtia 1 , microtia 2, microtia 3. So yeah, while some can hear with some surgery some others can not but sometimes they will offer you some kind of hearing aid that helps you to hear a little through the cochlea.
He's a pretty cool guy also have it. Finding it a little unusual I occasionally seem to find others with the same condition seem to be drawn musically too despite the impairment. The matter of coping with the physical difference varies with people but glad to see how he's so upfront about it.
I was born with microtia Atresia in 1966. My daughter was born with it in 1987. In 1992 we both started undergoing reconstructive surgery. Dr. Jarsdoerpher, which I have probably misspelled, is the one that discovered how to create an eardrum after opening the canal. I was 27 when he performed the surgery which took almost 8 hrs. And even though my head was heavily bandaged, I could hear! When the bandages finally came off, I drove around in the car for hours listening to music. It was the 1st time I had ever heard in stereo. My daughter was 5 when she started her surgeries. After the inner ear surgery, we still had more reconstructive surgeries to be done to the outer ear. I've had 15, and she has had 17, only because I was born with more of an ear than she was. But we both can hear out of our right ears. This surgery has been available since the late 80s, early 90s.
Tbe same, like Paul I was born with one ear because of a birth defect I was born without auditory nerves. I've been only to a few concerts, one was Deep Purple loud, but not too bad, the other was Kansas, INSANELY loud, my ears were ringing for hours. Ear plugs are a lot cheaper than $7,000 hearing aids.
@@patrickkirby7612 he killed his hearing pretty bad. Thats why he wore the headphones. Now he has hearing ads that have changed his life. Not many rock stars talk about tinnitus.
Weird Kizz makes so much load music noise and yells out on stage yet he speaks about going deaf that's kinda hypocritical. One thing is true he was born without an actual ear or hole either just skin over his right side. In 1982 he underwent reconstructive surgery and had a piece of his rib cage molded into a makeshift ear. Even so, he still can't hear normally. “As far as the music went, I never missed anything because you don't miss what you've never had,” he insisted. “I hear music the way I hear it.
I have low frequency hearing loss and have a hard time hearing men speak. I've been told LFHL is not that common...most people with hearing loss have a high frequency loss. Once again, I am the oddball! :)
I started wearing hearing protection religiously in 1993 when I was 19 years old... The trigger? I had been playing my drums in my small bedroom a few times a week for about 6 months. Went to watch TV and realized that I needed to turn it up louder then I had before. I knew right then and there that I was experiencing some hearing loss (in reality, it was Temporary Threshold Shift). I started wearing plugs after that for all loud noise events. He's right, headphones are a killer.
I'm sure Paul's motive is good and he's a smart guy. However, I can't help but feel it's a bit hypocritical for him to be speaking out on the danger of loud volume when KISS concerts have surely inflicted irreversible damage on countless fans for decades.
@Scott Hoffman Yes. It's rare but it happens. I've heard stories over the years of people going to a loud concert and having their hearing permanently damaged. Granted, there was probably damage accumulating over time. Still, one loud concert can tip it over the edge and cause lifetime hearing loss and/or tinnitus.
I have tinnitus but only when I think about it or when it's quiet. I have recently been learning sign language it is very important to protect your hearing, thank you Paul from the loudest and hottest band in the world, sad to see the ending tour though.
Every now and then my left ear rings just a bit from losing my earplug at an '81 Van Halen show. Spent the whole show in Eddie's zone of death right in front of him. I swear he had his speakers pointing in this one spot he kept playing in front of.
I've played in bands my whole life, and clubs these days play music WAY louder than my bands ever did! I'm always shocked how loud it is at discos, and modern power amps these days can be 3,000 watts, instead of 200 which would have been a lot in my day. Young people absolutely have to wear earplugs when they go clubbing - give them as a present, the good ones you buy at a music store, to keep your kids from having hearing loss later one.
kiss' music was fun and had some good rocknroll songs but they are mediocre players.its funny how he mocked other bands calling them deaf saying that those bands aren't that good and are maybe deaf.well,kiss was miles behind zep,Sabbath,aerosmith,jimi Hendrix and so on and so forth...
So few genuine people in the world..good to see one.
So when Paul would say "I can't hear you......, he wasn't lying!
Thanks for speaking out, Paul! Few people will because they don't want to appear "uncool."
so happy to see Paul speaking about ear protection. thanks for caring.
amazing Paul sings so well with only one ear working, possibly another I remember who had a hearing problem is Brian Wilson
Yep, Brian's dad slapped him hard on the side of his head while cupping his hand. Brian suffered permanent hearing loss in that ear. Such a masterfully beautiful song writer. Same with Paul!
I knew Paul was deaf in one ear. Having only 1 ear to hear out of and doing rock concerts...well I'm glad he's using earplugs and protecting his good ear.
yes they did change the music business no matter what
A lot of rockstars have hearing loss. Mostly due to the music they make. I’m surprised not many people know that.
That's not why Paul is deaf in one ear.
Kiss made amazing music....they will always be known. It does amaze me though that he never because too sensitive to loud noises!!
Awesome wig
all of what Paul is saying is true. I lost some of my hearing from going to a Megadeth concert...I've never been able to hear well after that. This is true fact. If you have to listen to loud anything...WEAR EARPLUGS.
I went to 100plus concerts and i'm ok. Might be genetics
@@hankcourtemanche5357 No, you were just lucky, but it will catch up to you if you don't start caring about it, that is a fact.

WHAT??
wow macky did you think of that all by yourself

Cool dude that Paul Stanley. Seems to be as grounded as a man can be in his shoes.....or boots! ;)
He's a dick believe me

Paul is still hot!!
Paul Stanley. Total class all the way, and speaking out on a very real and important topic. Thank you Mr. Stanley!!
Starts at 2:50. You're welcome.
No one thanked you.
I was waiting for Paul Gilbert to walk out on stage at any moment...LOL Good speech Mr.Stanley
Why? Is Paul Gilbert deaf in some way?
@@patrickkirby7612 he killed his hearing pretty bad. Thats why he wore the headphones. Now he has hearing ads that have changed his life. Not many rock stars talk about tinnitus.
I was a kiss fan from the start. I had no idea.
I became a Kiss fan at 15 and I never knew he was deaf in one ear...the things ya learn...
I didn't know paul was deaf in one ear, I just learned something its great to educate I give that to paul really cool guy.kizz still kicks azz..
Paul Stanley.... I love you!
Paul I agree with you hearing loss is not a good thing and I am 15 and I have a hearing loss in one ear, just like you.
Is it me or is Paul the COOLEST cat in the entire litter
I have never seen Paul with short hair! wow, still looks great!
Florence Henderson was on the TV special "Paul Lynde Halloween Special" in 1976. So was KISS.

Paulさんは、自分の仕事である音楽と絵画を愛する人だと思いますよ。おおらかな人だと思いますよ。

That’s Florence Henderson right ?
That's what I'm thinking.

Interesting
