Van Damme the movie star suffers with hearing loss

Jean Claude Van Dammes doctor has ordered the movie star to don protective ear wear on films sets, after diagnosing him with high freuency hearing loss. Years of bangs and booms in high action movies have left the star hearing impaired, and he recently sought expert help to correct his partial deafness. Van Damme underwent several tests before he was diagnosed with high frequency hearing loss and he was urged to protect his ears as much as possible. The Doctor told him that there is a difference in high frequencies between both sides of his head which means if many people talk together in a group, its quite difficult for him to understand someone speaking. You hear but you cant understand.
Thats the problem when theres a high frequency hearing loss. What you can do is not make it worse, so use ear protection when you go and and shoot movies.
