Grayson Vaughn is a 9-year-old boy who lives in Fort Smith. And he’s defying odds by raising thousands of dollars through the sport of swimming, after he lost his hearing as a toddler.

“I like to help people be able to see if they’re deaf or not,” Grayson said.

Stroke by stroke, Grayson has helped pioneer hearing screening through Swim To Hear, an organization uses swimming as a fundraising measure to help kids with hearing loss.
