Paul Simon's Hearing Loss and Song Selection: An Update.
TL;DR
Paul Simon, who began losing hearing in his left ear about 2½ years ago, hasn't given up hope of performing again. The 81-year-old singer-songwriter hopes his surprise performance at the Newport Folk Festival last year wasn’t his last. Simon's hearing in his left ear is now at about 8%, but he can still hear well enough to play guitar and write. Simon released his 15th studio album, "Seven Psalms," last month.
