Amaris Encinas, USA TODAY For Huey Lewis, one of the hardest parts of living with Ménière's disease isn't the hearing loss itself, it's losing music. The 76-year-old rock star says he's now "basically deaf" and can no longer enjoy what once defined his life and career. "I can't hear music. Music is not part of my life anymore , which is a hard pill to swallow," Lewis told Michael Rosenbaum on the July 7 episode of the "Inside of You" podcast.
