KT Tunstall on how hearing loss has affected her career, and the joy of writing music for stage show The Singer

KT’s younger brother Dan was born profoundly deaf, and the singer herself experienced sudden hearing loss in 2018. She is now completely deaf in her left ear and continues to experience tinnitus.

“I grew up with a profoundly deaf brother, so I’ve been right there watching someone not really being included and getting underestimated a lot,” she says.

“I can’t wait for my brother to see The Singer because I don’t think he quite gets how groundbreaking the show is. You don’t need to be able to hear to enjoy this show to the absolute max. It’s for both audiences.”

Her own hearing loss came suddenly following a long-haul flight and a performance while she was already experiencing tinnitus.
