When we first meet Windle he is a wheelchair-bound old wizard who does not hear much and doesn't do much. His wheelchair is used in the battle against the creatures from Holy Wood. In Reaper Man, he is supposed to die, but as Death is ...not available, he instead turns into a Zombie and joins the Fresh Start Club. During his time as a zombie, he loses bodily functions, and is forced to make his heart beat, his lungs breathe and his muscles move all using his head. It is doubtful that he would have been succesful without his years of training as a wizard. Death can't be denied for long, however, and eventually he has a chat with him and Windle dies on the Brass Bridge. He felt that the few days of excitement more than made up for the century of boredom. A couple of Windle's many years are in doubt, since the Discworld Timeline says he was born in 1857, but died at 130 in 1985.
In Hogfather, we learn that Ponder Stibbons used his ear trumpet to make an artificial ear for Hex
