Here's a good reason for Justin Bieber's fans to stop screaming so loudly. Justin thinks he's starting to go deaf at age 16!
"I think I've lost 80 percent of my hearing," Justin tells Vibe. "I definitely have very loud fans." He may have been joking. Or not. But let's not take the chance. Lower it a decibel or two, ladies. One thing about growing older that Justin isn't worried about? Hitting puberty.
"Everyone's voice changes. Puberty is a natural thing," he says in the interview. "It's not like as soon as you hit puberty you stop singing. Usher is the best mentor in the world, and he survived puberty. He tells me what to do, what not to do." As for what comes after puberty ... well, that's a different story. "My mom has me on a tight leash and [she's] being real protective. The girls show up wearing nothing," he tells the magazine. "I can't lie, I'm 16, I don't hate it. I don't have a girlfriend."
But one thing his mom doesn't know is that when she makes him get off his computer, he finds another way. "She takes my computer at [midnight] so I can sleep," he says. "When she takes away my computer, I still play with my iPad. She doesn't know."
Oops. She knows now.
