Episode Details

Huey Lewis, the legendary voice behind “The Power of Love,” shares the heart-wrenching reality of losing his ability to enjoy music after being diagnosed with Meniere’s disease — a condition that’s left him profoundly deaf to the melodies and harmonies he once lived for. His cochlear implant helps him understand speech, but music? It’s a jumbled mess of distorted frequencies, stripping away the emotional depth he once cherished. Cooking, hanging out with friends, even his beloved jazz and big band collection — all now sources of frustration. Yet, in the quiet stillness of fly fishing, he’s found a new kind of peace, describing it as conducting nature with his rod — a serene escape where hearing isn’t required, and joy still finds a way.
