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 />
