## Resource

Huey Lewis, the legendary singer of “The Power of Love,” reveals he’s now essentially deaf to music — a devastating shift for a musician whose life was built on sound. His cochlear implant, designed to help him understand speech, breaks music into digital fragments, stripping away the emotional richness and nuance he once cherished. What was once his sanctuary — jazz and big band at home — is now a distant memory, replaced by frustration. Diagnosed with Meniere’s disease in 2018, Lewis has traded the road for quiet pursuits like fly fishing, finding unexpected joy in nature’s silence. His story is a poignant reminder that while senses shape our passions, adaptation can open doors to new, fulfilling ways of living.
