Radio star adjusts to going deaf, continues show using new system
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The onset of deafness would paralyze most radio personalities. Rush Limbaugh likens it to a midlife crisis.
"I turned 50 in January," the talk show host said in an interview. "A guy who turns 50 goes out and buys a red Corvette and hunts chicks to prove he's still youthful. Mine is to still do this, basically deaf, and do it better than anybody else."
Limbaugh's Oct. 8 announcement that he's lost most of his hearing was a surprise. That it didn't shake his self-confidence shouldn't be.
Many of his listeners sensed
Still, the handicap is a career-defining challenge for one of the biggest names in radio (along with Howard Stern and Paul Harvey).
nere was something wrong with his voice this summer before Limbaugh acknowledged it. Limbaugh admitted feeling his voice sometimes "sounded like a chipmunk."
Limbaugh's voice still sounds as if it's descending from the mountaintop, as it did yesterday when he railed against the media for overplaying anthrax reports. He also suggested former President Clinton might have sent vials of salmonella to himself "to get into the action."
"Nothing's stopped me from talking, and that's what I get paid to do," he said. "Nobody's paying me to listen."
His hearing loss was gradual over the past year. Limbaugh is totally deaf in his left ear and can faintly distinguish sounds — but not voices — in his right. Diagnosing it as autoimmune inner-
ear disease, doctors are treating him with drugs. If that's unsuccessful, the next step is to implant an electronic device in his ear.
Most of his shows originate from a studio near his South Florida home. An elaborate system has been set up to take calls from viewers. With the help of a slight tape delay, a caller's words are transcribed onto Limbaugh's computer screen. In a separate message box, his producers indicate whether a caller is amiable or angry. Limbaugh watches a dial that records sound waves to see if the caller is talking or has stopped.
Limbaugh said he intended to fill out his contract with the Premiere Radio Network, which was renewed this summer through 2009 for the highest price ever in radio syndication, reportedly $250 million.
