Last year, Shatner spoke out about tinnitus, a health condition that hes faced since the 1990s.
A person with tinnitus can experience ringing or other noises in one or both ears, according to the Mayo Clinic.Â
The actor spoke out about living with tinnitus in a promotional video for the nonprofit Tinnitus Quest.
“My own journey with tinnitus started when I was filming a episode called ‘Arena,’ and I was too close to the special effects’ explosion. And the result was that I was left with permanent tinnitus,” Shatner explained.
He continued: “And, over the years, Ive had many ups and downs with my tinnitus, and I know from firsthand experience just how difficult it can get.”
Shatner became a household name as Capt. James T. Kirk in the “Star Trek” franchise.
He also starred in countless other projects in his seven-decade career, including “T.J. Hooker,” “The Practice,” “Boston Legal,” “Miss Congeniality” and more.
