I am a man that has experienced a lot of things that are not good. But when I see these beautiful people hear it touched a sensitive part in me that brought a little tear to my eye. I am so happy for them....thank you for this.

Thank you a million times over to Australian, Professor Graeme Clark, inventor of the cochlear implant, our greatest medical device export.

Never thought I'd be binge watching deaf people hearing sound for the first time..... tugs on the ol' heart strings, brings a tear to your eye and puts a smile on your face.

This has GOT to be one of the best jobs in the world, to be the person to throw the switch and see the joy in all of these faces.

This must be the most emotionally rewarding field of medicine ever.

I cried with each success. Cannot imagine living without sound,without the gift of music. Am so grateful

I lost 70% of my hearing and wear hearing aids. People with good hearing have no clue what it’s like to be hard of hearing. I’ve been accused of faking my hearing loss. I had to retire early because of my hearing loss. In a group of 20 people with people talking at the same time I can’t hear ( understand ) what they are saying at all…..it’s just a bunch of noise to me. I get ignored. People rudely say to me in an angry way ➡️ “TURN YOUR HEARING AIDS UP !!!!!”…. Being hard of hearing is a nightmare.

Sorry to hear people have been so rude about it, that's their failing not yours. My mom has been legally deaf since she was 6 yrs old, she can sometimes tell there's a noise but can't distinguish what it is. Now that she's older she hears Eve less. She's also dealt with people being unkind. Deafness is something people can't see so they're less understanding w it than, for example, someone in a wheelchair

I agree its a bloody nightmare i know !! If i was blind i would be helped across the road- if i was in a wheelchair id be given a push - being deaf you are being made to feel an idiot and its your fault. People are embarrassed to speak to you in fear of what others may think of them if they have to raise their voice or make a different sign. So they mostly ignore you if possible !! Can be very isolating .

Thank you, God for my senses. Thank you for people who dedicate their lives to improving others!

I'm reading through the comments to see if anyone else had the same question. For the adults who have never heard a sound before, I would think that it would take both signing and voice so that the person knows what specific words sound like. Regardless, my eyes were sweating all through these videos. LOL. Modern medicine is wonderful!

Some of the most wholesome and beautiful content on the far-too-often-vile KZread. God bless all of the infants, children, teens, young adults, and adults in these videos, and God bless everyone who makes this possible for them, from the inventor to the ENT docs and nurses, to the people who build these implants and hearing aids, and those who transport them from the factory to the doctors office. God bless you for making dreams come true for people who are deaf/hearing impaired.

I'm eternally grateful that i'm neither blind nor deaf (although my eyes are only getting worse). I'd rather be blind than deaf. I imagine it would be easier to understand the world if you can at least speak and hear and have conversations with people. I feel like it would be easier for your brain to adjust to suddenly being able to see versus suddenly being able to hear.

It’s so awesome that someone used their brilliance and genius to invent something that’s so wonderful, can only be used for good and that is such a blessing for thousands of others! God bless that type of GENUINE genius!❤❤❤

The reactions of the toddlers, is priceless.

What a gift.....! Changed everyone's lives forever.

I would have thought it was the other way around.

I am bawling my eyes out. So overwhelmed with what I take for granted.

This is a MIRACLE !!!! I’m so happy that these beautiful people are blessed with this technology. If we went back even 50 years, it wouldn’t have been thought impossible to achieve.!!! we truly are living in miraculous times……..(that is, if you choose to look at the good that actually is occurring in the world right now)

Well , it seems the precious gift of hearing is very precious indeed...I will appreciate my hearing much more and not take it for granted.

My mom's been deaf since she was 6 years old. I wanted her to get a cochlear & she was initially excited about the possibility. But an online group of deaf "friends" made her feel quilty for even considering it so she never did. This is beautiful to see, wish my mom could have had this experience. But, I'm so happy to see these people receive this blessing.

Watched several of these compilation video of people hearing sound for the first time and its not only heart warming to see the reactions, it makes me realise the things we take for granted and dont realise how lucky we are to have hearing, just because we have never experienced not having it. Seeing these videos gives me a new appreciation for sometning that I take for granted.

I'm a gen xer and I remember when these first came on the market. What a miracle. Absolutely changed the world.

For all of them. I am happy for the babies, I wish my niece had this before she passed. I'm real happy for the bigger kids and the adults that never had the opportunity. They all make me so happy for them. 🥰

All these ppl can hear for the first time because of Professor Graeme Clark. Australia is very proud of him 😊

Nothing sounds better than a child's laughter and nothing looks better than a child's smile.

Even the tiniest baby cries for joy! There must also be a lot of uncertainty and a little fear at hearing the world for the first time.

I'm a 66 year old man with a daughter and 3 grandchildren...thank you for this video...I'm weeping with joy seeing these children get something a lot of us take for granted...and I passed this video on to my daughter to share with my grandkids to remind them to be grateful for all we have that others may not..😁✌️❤️

And why bring fantasy and fairytales into it?

Oh my gosh babies just get me. This brings back a lot of memories, good and bad. Hearing the sounds of the world and those closest to you is indeed a gift that many may take for granted.

How is it possible for people who have never heard in their lives to speak fluent English when they do?

We in the hearing world and who have all our senses take for granted what we have. Witnessing these individuals experiencing sound for the first time only confirms that site and sound is our greatest sense, taste would follow. Oh heck, they’re all important.

Jeep watching even though I can’t stop crying ❤️

I am mostly deaf, and am finally getting hearing aids. I'm happy I will finally hear, instead of sign.

This puts things into perspective with the majority of us taking things for granted. 👌

These videos are really great! I know what they are experiencing. After being effectively deaf in my left ear after a long period of insidious degradation and fusing of the bones of the middle ear, I was fitted with a Cochlear Osia and when it was finally activated, according to my wife and the audiologist, I I was alike a kid with a new toy….absolutely over the moon.

every time I want to cry, I come back to watch these videos..... succeed

Oh my, it was baby Cooper how cool? I got to see you at first hearing. I follow him and his mother.

This should have been titled "Deaf babies hear for the first time." I know, babies are people too, but when the overwhelming content is deaf babies it deserves a more appropriate title.

Not me looking like a raccoon because I’ve smeared mascara all over from sobbing

I think it will be wonderful if the first sound they hear is music.

Just beautiful ❤️😍💕

The older kids/adults make a lump in my throat. I guess because all i picture them having been through. The babies at least haven't even understood there was anything wrong. Of course it's still a damn miracle for them, & in its own way more important, because intervention made sure they'll never have to actually deal with not hearing, hopefully.

Just wonderful

Remember for a hearing person words make sense because the mouth and lips form the words, the sound acknowledges you interpreted it right. So take the world Hello. Your eyes see open mouth, little wide. Then tongue touching the teeth then the mouth forms open round lips.. you could make hello of that… Now a death person hearing for the first time sees the world and knows what it means, but the sound has a more breath movement in the beginning, and has problem understanding that sound is needed to pronounce it properly, but the word he hears follows the word he saw.. so it makes sense… TLDR: not deaf: you see and what you hear match.. deaf/first hear: you hear and what you see seems to match.

Im not crying, you are....

Beautiful 😍

How long of a process is it until they can turn it on? Are these like, the first test they have or is this after weeks/months of dr appointments?

Beautiful

This is all really great! but do the first words these people hear have to be spoken in a Mickey Mouse pitch ?

Freddy Krueger with hearing aid? Man im old 🤔

So touching

As for anyone that is over 6 years old and getting their hearing, if they can fluently understand and speak English the moment their implants were turned on, then I have to believe they've heard and spoken English before. Even if someone was fluent in lip-reading, I don't think they would know which vowels go where the moment they get their hearing "for the first time."

Posso solo pensare sia un bel lavoro❤😊

You can tell by their intonation/tone (which isn't quite right) that they were deaf, however, or mostly hard of hearing. Remember Helen Keller had learned to speak.

8:42. This was the first time, the daughter heard her fathers voice for the first time? She heard him two times before?
