Can You Hear Us Now, Louis?

Louis Tomlinson is a bit hard of hearing these days. Everywhere he goes he’s surrounded by high-pitched, non-stop screaming (Directioners, you know who you are). But Louis loves his fans so much that he doesn’t even mind the loud love – but his ears, on the other hand, seem to be protesting.

“I’m going slight deaf in my right ear,” Louis explained to the Daily Mirror. “It’s tinnitus…something like that. All our fans are always very loud.”

Oh no! We hope Louis’s ear heals itself, but until then all of the 1D boys have been instructed to wear protective ear pieces every time they preform in front of a crowd. Do you think it’s a good idea for them to guard their ears from fans (even if it’s just for health reasons)? Let us know in the comments below or on Twitter!
