The artist K.Flay lost hearing in one ear last fall and it hasn’t returned since. She’s planning to release a new album in September and is now on her first tour since the hearing loss. She’s performing at Showbox Sodo in Seattle on Friday, June 23. Emily Fox caught up with her to talk about her experience and what it’s like performing and making music under her new condition.
"Just kind of like you need two eyes for depth perception, you need two ears for echolocation. As a consequence, restaurants or concerts, places with lots of ambient noise coming from all directions feel very psychologically overwhelming,” K.Flay says.
