Lewis Vaughan Jones<br />
Nominated by Maddie Gilbert (Commuter Students Officer)<br />
Lewis is a BBC presenter who recently made the rounds on social<br />
media for changing his hearing aid battery during the live News. He<br />
had sudden hearing loss (as well as childhood issues with grommets<br />
and scarred eardrums) and now wears a bone anchored hearing aid.<br />
He’s been really open about his experience <strong>of</strong> hearing loss and the<br />
aids he’s using which I think is amazing for raising awareness.<br />
If anyone is interested in finding out a bit more about his story, he<br />
did a piece last year on “Hear Me Out!”:<br />
