Matt Hamill Regains Hearing After 41 Years

After 41 years of silence, Matt Hamill can finally hear.
The former UFC light heavyweight, perhaps best known for his disqualification victory over Jon Jones, managed to score a new pair of digital hearing aids — powered by state-of-the-art technology — with the ability to amplify the surrounding environment.
Which includes the voices of his young children.
"I just got the most powerful digital hearing aids ever made," Hamill wrote on Instagram. "For the first time in 41 years, I can finally hear my kids' voices, the sounds of people walking and laughing. I finally heard my mom's voice and she cried. I'm looking forward to hearing my brother Pat's voice too. I only hope he doesn't have a voice like a foghorn. This is awesome although I know it will take time to adapt to all of this. Happy New Year!"
He may want to turn them off for this wacky interview.
The 48 year-old Hamill (13-8), who rose to fame on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 alongside eventual UFC champion Michael Bisping, has not competed since capturing a split decision victory over Chris Birchler under the Maverick MMA banner back in early 2018.
But that "Bones" rematch is still on the table.
