Jeremiah
I like listening to the twittering of the birds during the day because at night I can't hear anything.
Jeremiah Thomas is a reserved boy, who is unable to speak properly due to his congenital hearing loss. He is currently learning sign language so that he can make himself understood. He has been wearing hearing aids since October 2014 and particularly enjoys being able to hear the sound of birds tweeting. 15-year-old Jeremiah goes to Nkhoma Primary School, where his favorite subject is math.
