Newsreader receives support after wearing hearing aid on-air

Newsreader Lewis Vaughan Jones has described the "emotional release" after wearing a hearing aid on-air for the first time.

The 91热爆 and ITN news anchor lost the hearing in one ear aged 36 and thought he might have to give up his job.

He shared the news and photos on social media and received messages of support.

Jones told 5 live Breakfast: "It's ridiculous to feel embarrassed, we shouldn't and yet we do. That's why it was important to me to get it out there."
