Cochlear Implants | Children Hearing For The First Time! *EMOTIONAL*

I was full hearing for 38 years. Awoke deaf in 2017. Received a cochlear implant. The day I heard my kids again was one of the best days of my life!

Imagine being a child that has no idea that “sound” existed, then “hearing” for the first time out of no where. Its like opening a whole new layer or dimension of reality.

I’m an English techer for deaf students and seeing my kids get hearing aids/implants and their reactions when they can hear is truly amazing, never fails to make me realize how we can take such things for granted.

I’ll never take my hearing for granted again

Why all the good stuff gets recommended only after midnight

I don't think most people realize how alone and left out you can feel when you can't hear or have trouble communicating. The reactions are wonderful

This is so heart warming. But just remember that even though people are deaf or blind doesn't mean they are broken. My girlfriend has been blind from birth and she says she is happy with how she is.

me: -ok time to sleep youtube's algorithm: - do you want to cry?

I was in my 30s when I got my first hearing aids - that was the first time I heard my own voice and also the cars and even the fridge had a sound :) this is such a heart warming video and it makes me happy to see these children 👶

If this doesn’t get you right in the feels, you aren’t human

This really touches my heart. I remember when we found out my daughter had hearing loss, she was in the first grade, I had told my husband before she started to school that maybe something was wrong cause she never heard me when I would call to her. when the school tested the children she came home with a note, After that we took her to the doctor to be tested and fit for a hearing aid. when they put the aids in her ears I ask if she could hear me, she then said mommy your voice is so pretty then I broke into tears.

The baby at around 50 seconds could just be overwhelmed by the amount of sounds instead of having perfect thoughts of what they’re experiencing

In times like these you learn to live again...

What’s more beautiful about kids hearing for the first time is that they don’t just hear their parents but they hear themselves

It kills me to be able to share a moment these kids have that they will never forget for the rest of their lives. I feel honored. Welcome to our world little ones.

The first voice children should hear is their parents’ voices

When people say healthcare is a right, this is what they're talking about.

This is great - When I got my Cochlear implants, I was thrilled able to hear my parents, my dogs, and everything else.

I when I was born my parents didn’t know I was deaf so I had 3 months knowing nothing . When I turned one I got hearing aide now fully grown I have cochlear implants . Hearing my best friend for the first time was AMAZING
