In a post for the Wisconsin Medical Society, he added: 'As I dove into the swimming pool, I remember coming up out of the water complaining that my ears were bleeding.'

'As I looked to my friends for explanation, I recall their lips moving but without sound. As I touched my ears to check for bleeding, I realised there was no blood, and I couldn't hear anything at all.'

After collapsing, Amato was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with a serious concussion. Doctors also found he had a permanent 35 percent loss of hearing, as well as memory loss.

But, Amato told the Today show, this is a small price to pay for what he can do now. 'The headaches and the loss of hearing are the price tag for this gift,' he said. 'I'd like it to stay.'

美国一名男子在一个较浅的游泳池跳水导致脑震荡，之后却意外发现这起事故使他成为了音乐天才。

来自科罗拉多州丹佛的德里克•阿马托是全球30名患有“后天性学者症候群”的人之一，这种症候群的表现是在脑部受到创伤后，展示出非凡的才能。

在数年的工作失意和无家可归之后，这位40岁的男子现在很享受自己的音乐事业，而且会弹奏八种乐器，尽管他从没接受过音乐训练。

他回忆起自己2006年10月受伤后的令人惊奇的时刻，当时他突然被朋友家中的钢琴吸引，立刻弹奏起来。

他告诉《今日秀》节目的马特-劳尔，“在那种时刻，就像我突然意识到了什么。看到钢琴，我忍不住走过去坐下弹奏。”
