Grey’s Anatomy’s Camilla Luddington reveals secret health battle

As a seasoned gamer and a devoted fan of Grey’s Anatomy, hearing about Camilla Luddington‘s tinnitus diagnosis was both heart-wrenching and enlightening. Having lost some of my own hearing over the years due to countless hours spent in headphones, I could relate to her experience on a personal level.


As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share that the talented actress, Camilla Luddington from Grey’s Anatomy, recently disclosed her tinnitus diagnosis during an episode of her podcast featuring her former co-star, Jessica Capshaw.

Luddington, known for her role as Dr Josephine ‘Jo’ Wilson on ABC’s lengthy medical series, shared how she came to understand that she has this condition.

She mentioned that the topic she was discussing was new ground for her, as she had never delved into it thoroughly before, on the Call It What It Is podcast.

Approximately two or three years ago, while watching Ghostbusters, there were several quiet moments that left me puzzled. I turned to Matt and asked, “Is the TV humming?” I was quite perplexed, and he replied, “No.” Then I questioned him, “Do you hear a ringing in your ears?” To which he responded, “No, I don’t.”

Additionally, let me briefly share that I discovered an issue known as tinnitus, a persistent ringing or buzzing sound in my ears. Regrettably, I’m still experiencing it now.

As per the National Health Service (NHS), the exact cause of tinnitus remains unclear. However, it is known to be associated with conditions like hearing loss, Ménière’s disease, as well as mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

Luddington discussed her personal situation, revealing she struggles with tinnitus in just her right ear and some hearing impairment as well. Additionally, due to the possibility that tinnitus could stem from a tumor, she underwent an MRI scan. Fortunately, she learned that no tumor was present.

The actor expressed that they currently experience it, are always aware of it, and found it deeply unsettling when they realized after several days that the sound persisted. They admitted uncertainty as to whether it would eventually disappear.

Luddington expressed that the situation left her deeply affected. She admitted to often finding it too loud, struggling greatly with parenting, and battling self-consciousness as if she was on the verge of losing sanity. Eventually, she underwent a hearing test which revealed additional hearing impairment. She is confident that she will require a hearing aid in the future.

“I’m going to rock that by the way, everyone,” she joked.

Excitedly speaking as a devoted fan, I can’t help but share some fantastic news! In the United States, starting Thursday, September 26, at 10pm Eastern Time, the much-anticipated season 21 of Grey’s Anatomy will grace our screens on ABC. For all my fellow fans in the UK, you can catch up on previous seasons anytime on Disney+!
