Paul Simon Meets Scientists Studying Zebrafish, Mice to Help Reverse His Hearing Loss

Paul Simon discussed his hearing loss and visited scientists at Stanford studying mice and zebrafish for possible cures on 'CBS Mornings.'

Last year, Paul Simon confirmed that while making his most recent album, Seven Psalms, he’d suffered major hearing loss. In the new CBS Mornings interview, Simon and reporter Anthony Mason traveled to Paolo Alto to visit the SICHL. At the end of the interview, Simon said his visit to the SICHL gave him “hope that there is some significant improvement on the horizon.” The musician — who retired from touring in 2018, but did perform an acoustic set in New York earlier this year — also remained determined to continue with his art as long as possible.
