In 2001, he was diagnosed with a rare Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED), which, in the span of three months, left his right ear completely deaf and left ear severely deaf.

On October 8, 2001, Rush revealed on his radio program that he was, for all practical purposes, deaf.

On December 20, 2001, Dr. Antonia De la Cruz of the House Ear Clinic/House Ear Institute of Los Angeles declared his cochlear implant a success.

On January 21, 2002, Rush reported that his bionic ear was working beyond expectations.
