Renowned actor William Shatner, 94, has spoken out about his ongoing health challenge that he has faced for many years. The condition, known as tinnitus, has been a constant struggle for the star since his days on Star Trek, when a special effects explosion caused a persistent ringing in his ears. According to the American Tinnitus Association, tinnitus is characterized by perceiving sound when there is no external noise present, often resulting in buzzing or hissing sounds in the ears. Shatner recently joined forces with the nonprofit organization Tinnitus Quest to raise awareness about the condition, sharing his own experiences in a candid video. In the video, Shatner discusses the varying severity of tinnitus and the lack of effective treatments available, emphasizing the need for further research. Tinnitus Quest, a new nonprofit organization, aims to find a lasting solution to silence tinnitus, with Shatner urging viewers to consider supporting the cause through donations. Shatner’s message highlights the importance of raising funds to help the millions of people who suffer from this debilitating condition.
