Thomas Rhett knows life changes—and he’s making those changes with it.
The country star confirmed that he’s starting to lose his hearing in one ear, especially now that he’s spending more time at home with pregnant wife Lauren Akins and their four young daughters. And it ultimately led him to seek medical attention.
“I’m kind of going deaf in this ear a little bit,” he said while gesturing to his left ear during a joint appearance with Lauren on the Feb. 9 episode of Annie F. Downs’ That Sounds Fun podcast. “And so I had to go get hearing aids as a 35-year-old man.”
“I wore them for like a week and I looked at her,” he continued, “I was like, ‘Is this legit what you hear all day long?’”
Lauren, 36, confirmed her husband’s suspicions, sharing, “I can’t think straight, it’s so loud. I was like, ‘Babe, welcome to our life!’”
With four girls at home under the age of 11—the couple share Willa Gray10, There’s James, 8, Lennon Love5, and Lillie Carolina, 4, and have another baby on the way—Thomas joked that he desperately needs an escape sometimes.
