Dave Grohl explains how his hearing loss made the pandemic even worse

It’s been a rocky road for Dave Grohl.

The Foo Fighters frontman opened up about his hearing loss last week on “The Howard Stern Show.”

“If you were sitting next to me right here at dinner, I wouldn’t understand a f—ing word you were saying to me,” he told Stern on Feb. 15. “That’s the worst thing about this pandemic s—, it’s people wearing masks. I’ve been reading lips for like 20 years, so when someone comes up to me and they’re like (incomprehensible noise), I’m like, ‘I’m a rock musician. I’m f—ing deaf, I can’t hear what you’re saying.”
