Jean says “I got Jumble a year ago after losing my best friend Sheena. She had been with me for 15 years. It broke my heart when she died and I wasn’t sure about whether to get another dog, but I’m so glad I did. I would be lost without Jumble.” Jean says “A few months ago Jumble saved my life when my grill caught fire and the fire alarm went off. I did not hear it and Jumble touched me with his paw and I knew something was wrong. I got a terrible fright, but he saved my life. The whole place would have burnt down without him, and if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t be here today.” Jean became deaf when she contracted measles when she was just five years old. She says that Jumble also helps her in other ways. As well as being her eyes and ears when the doorbell sounds or when the telephone rings, he wakes her up in the morning and even helps her balance when she’s outside.

The award was established in 2002 in honour of Professor Graeme Clark to thank him for his lifelong pursuit of finding a solution for the hearing impaired and his pioneering work in the field of cochlear implant technology. Professor Clark, Professor of the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Melbourne, invented the world’s first multi-channel cochlear implant over 25 years ago. A cochlear implant is a small electronic device which consists of an external processor that sits behind the ear and a second element that is surgically placed under the skin.

On hearing she had won the award, she said: “I’m delighted to accept the award, it is such an honour, I didn’t expect it at all!" Gaynor Booth, Marketing and Business Development Manager at Cochlear UK said: “The sponsorship is a wonderful opportunity to help our recipients by supporting them financially when they continue their education. It also highlights how lives are enhanced through access to our technology, together with the help of healthcare professionals.”
