William Shatner Gets Candid About ‘Ups and Downs’ of Living with 'Permanent Tinnitus': ‘I Know’ How ‘Difficult It Can Get’

William Shatner opened up in a candid new interview about the 'ups and downs' of living with 'permanent tinnitus,' a condition he got after standing too close to a special effects explosion on the set of 'Star Trek.' He was officially diagnosed with the condition in the 1990s.

“And over the years, I’ve had many ups and downs with my tinnitus, and I know from firsthand experience just how difficult it can get,” he added. “The more money we can raise for Tinnitus Quest, the quicker we can find a solution to help the millions of people suffering,” the actor said.
