In my opinion, Mr. Limbaugh caused his case of impaired hearing through his abuse of opiates/oxycotin/hillbilly heroin. He has never admitted the extent of his addiction, despite going to Rehab. He is deaf. He has to read just about everything to understand the situation and I bet there are many times he says “Forget it. I’m going to go see if my 4th wife wants to fool around, or not.” I think he has been skating by for a long while just on the strength of his followers’ convictions. He has not done much to deserve it.
