Abstract
After he sustained a profound hearing loss in his only hearing ear following a routine myringoplasty, Jack Ashley became Britain's first deaf politician. His story is an inspiring one, converting a postoperative complication into a driver for success and change in the lives of millions of deaf and disabled people around the world.
