Shatner previously opened up about his health, specifically his struggles living with "permanent tinnitus," in avideofor the nonprofitTinnitus Quest, whose mission is to raise money for research aimed at finding a cure or treatment for the condition.
In the clip, he explained that his "journey" with tinnitus — a condition that causes "ringing or other noises in one or both of your ears," per theMayo Clinic— began when he was filming theStar Trekepisode "Arena."
