Radiohead bass player 'went deaf'

Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood has revealed that he lost his hearing during recording sessions for In Rainbows.

In an interview with Word, Greenwood admitted that he went deaf after using the wrong type of headphones.

Describing the ordeal as "a f**king nightmare", Greenwood was relieved when his hearing returned.

"It came back, mostly," he said. "It doesn't feel like I'm talking to people underwater anymore."

However, the 38-year-old confessed that he would often experience discomfort while he was recovering.

"For a few months afterwards I'd be watching the telly and suddenly hear these high-pitched whistling noises as more and more high frequencies came back."
