Help Needed

Musical Medical Emergency: Help Needed!

Hi friends! My name is Shaq Hester, a New York-based singer, actor & musician. A few weeks ago, departing a Houston plane from my debut lead role in the Ensemble Theater’s CHOIR BOY, I noticed my right ear’s hearing began to be very muffled. Hoping my ear would pop & air pressure would naturally restore itself, some weeks later, my ability to hear in my right ear has worsened & is compromising my livelihood.

As an emerging theater lead & working artist, my hearing is everything to me. Currently pursuing medical attention, I am seeking financial assistance to offset potential costs for care as soon as possible.

In addition, any insight into trusted professionals, stress or sound management, or care tips regarding temporary hearing loss or tinnitus may be forwarded to me using the contact form below. Thank you so, so much.
