Michael Cole reveals that he has 65% hearing loss and talks about how it is handled for television

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, WWE Smackdown commentator Michael Cole talked about his job…

“When the red light goes on, it’s fun. There’s a lot leading up to it and a lot of stuff that happens during the week, but Friday nights at 8 o’clock, when that red light goes on, it’s the best job in the world. You get to be play-by-play guy, color analyst, but you also get to be a storyteller and a narrator. You get to be an actor, you’re part of the show. It’s the best of every world possible.”

Cole also noted the following…

“I’m actually 65% hearing loss. They make these special in-ear pieces that go underneath my headset on air, so I can actually hear.” (quotes courtesy of Fightful.com)
