A number of celebrities, including the likes of Amy Winehouse, Rod Stewart and Joss Stone, have all had their photographs taken by Bryan Adams (yes, the singer) as part of that previously reported Hear The World campaign to educate the public about hearing loss. They join the likes of Annie Lennox, Dionne Warwick, Smokey Robinson and Moby in lending their support to the venture. The images, which depict each of the music stars pictured cupping their ear, will go on show in New York on 1 May.
Rod Stewart has revealed that he himself has suffered from a degree of hearing loss: "I have to put the TV up a bit loud and Penny always has to turn it down." Joss Stone meanwhile said: "My hearing is so important to me. I couldn't imagine my life without it, which is why I want to help raise awareness. Hearing loss is one of the world's most preventable disabilities, but it is also one of the most common. If I can help just one person to protect their hearing then I am happy."
