Colin Greenwood of Radiohead has reportedlyt revealed he lost his hearing temporarily while recording the bands current album. He said he went deaf after using the wrong type of headphones during his recording sessions for “In Rainbows.” He described the experience to Word magazine as “a f**king nightmare,” but thankfully his hearing returned. He said:

“It came back, mostly. It doesn’t feel like I’m talking to people underwater anymore.”

Colin’s recovery was a long process. He described it as:

“For a few months afterwards I’d be watching the telly and suddenly hear these high-pitched whistling noises as more and more high frequencies came back.”

Wow, how scary! I’m relieved for him that his hearing came back.
