One Direction's Louis Tomlinson says screaming fans are making him lose hearing

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has revealed that he is going "slightly deaf" in one of his ears.

The popular boyband are no strangers to screaming fans and it seems that their combined volume is getting the better of Tomlinson's right ear.

Tomlinson says that he thinks he's coming down with tinnitus and blamed Scousers in particular for their enthusiastic vocal cords. He said:

"I am going slightly deaf in my right ear. It's tinnitus...something like that. All our fans are always very loud, especially Scousers."

As previously reported, One Direction were confirmed yesterday (July 31) as one of the performers at the 2012 MTV VMAs.

The band were also nominated for a couple of the awards - although they were gazumped by Rihanna and Drake, who were both nominated for five.
