When this baby girl was born three months early, she developed an intestinal problem and the antibiotic she received for treatment impaired her hearing, her mom, Carol Benjamin, wrote on Facebook.

She’d thought Scarlet’s hearing was nonetheless pretty good, but the baby girl’s reaction when she was fitted with hearing aids showed it was anything but.

The adorable Scarlet just couldn’t contain her happiness when big sister Halie spoke to her for the first time after the fitting at Atlanta Hearing Associates in Milledgeville.

Scarlet’s spontaneous laughter is a joy to behold. It was “one of the absolute best days of our lives,” Benjamin said.

  • To see the happiness in this little girl's face is priceless. To hear her mommy's voice and that of her sisters for the first time is a precious moment ever.
  • When she screamed she,was just trying to figure out what other sounds she could make besides laughter. Who DIDN’T shed a tear or three?

  • This little darling is laughing and I'm crying out of pure happiness for her and her lovely mom. Absolutely beautiful.😍 It's like she couldn't stop listening to her own voice. She was a bit startled when she cried, but it passed quickly and she started laughing again. Warms ones heart.❤

    I love how she was screaming just to hear herself but then it was too loud so she cries a little 😂
  • She was figuring out the laughing was coming from herself, then started testing what else she could do. Apparently she didn't like hearing herself scream lol
