Woody Cook claims his famous parents' wild parties and raves with DJ dad Norman left him suffering with tinnitus from the age of 12
Woody Cook has claimed his music filled childhood and parent's wild parties left him suffering from tinnitus from the age of 12.
The 23-year-old son of Radio 2's Zoe Ball, 53, and Fatboy Slim DJ Norman Cook, 61, said he would also attend festivals and gigs at a young age to support his dad on stage.
Tinnitus is the name for hearing noises, such as ringing, buzzing or hissing, that are not caused by an outside source, according to the NHS.
He told The Mirror: 'I went to Glastonbury, Latitutde, Camp Bestival and a bunch of other festivals and gigs, so definitely I heard lots of loud music'.
'Because of the nature of my parents' lives all the parties were in our house and they would also be loud. It does mean I can now fall asleep anywhere, even with a fire alarm going off though'.

'They're bang up for it!'.
The news comes just days after Woody was performing The i360 Brighton Seafront as he threw himself into his performance following his debut at Glastonbury.
Stood at the back at the crowd Zoe beamed as she filmed the set while Norman was seen punching the air as he danced along.
Woody also shared a sweet photo with his parents after his performance as he wrapped his arms around them looking slightly sweaty.
The young DJ looked the part as he went topless underneath an open red shirt patterned with white flowers.
Meanwhile Zoe kept it simple in a blue top, jeans and shades and Norman looked stylish in a black shirt patterned with different animal skeletons.
The couple tied the knot in 1999 but sadly their marriage came to an end in 2016, when they announced they had 'come to the end of their rainbow'.
Their appearance comes after Woody exclusively revealed to MailOnline that ADHD [Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder] has helped him become a better DJ, following his Glastonbury debut last month.

He said the condition has now become his 'unique selling point' as he moves around so much behind the decks, he stands out from other DJs.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.
Woody told MailOnline: 'Having ADHD has contributed to my style. I've always jumped around a lot as a person'.
'I was contemplating calling myself Monkey Man as a DJ, by me letting go, it allows the audience to feel it too'.
