He was knighted, was made a honorary Colonel and his 100th birthday was marked by flypasts by the Royal Air Force and the British Army.
He reached the selection stage out of about 50 nominations in the Coronavirus Hero category chosen by the public from around the UK.
Four finalists will be selected in each category and the winner will be announced in October. Falklands War hero Simon Weston chairs the judging panel.
Amplifon has 200 hearing clinics across the UK and Ireland.
