For those of you interested in how I make all my videos, I use Wondershare Filmora to edit my videos. I hire different researchers and writers for scripts and professional voice artists to create engaging content, use stock footage (both free and paid) and add visual effects that will leave you watching the channel for hours.
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel, we love you! 💛 - Zábava
What was your favorite clip?
Why does the woman's jumper change from cyan in the thumbnail to red in the clip? makes me think the whole thing is fake
I love these all so much! Thank you for sharing!

All of them..
Baby sister
I’m deaf. That moment of amazement at being able to hear, followed by the break down in tears, is the relief and stress of so long having to cope in your own private world. Makes me cry in happiness seeing that.
were you profoundly deaf, or did you have some hearing?
Very happy for you Arthur. Maybe you can explain something I don't understand in this video (and I absolutely don't try to troll, just really try to understand). The first lady, Kathy, is supposed to hear the voice of her father for the 1st time ever. And not looking at him, she understands what he says and responds accordingly but I imagine that before hearing she was reading lips so how can she immediately knows the meaning of what she hears?
I was wondering the same thing! How do they understand English if they have never heard it? I’m not questioning, just wondering.
I had a really bad flu + bacterial infection back to back that had me partially deaf on one ear for a while when I recovered. The feeling of isolation is really insane, you feel extremely left out and out of the loop when you can't hear
@@martincoborn Same way all of these adults know how to speak, to the best extent they can. They often go through speech therapy and do things like put their hands on the therapist's throat to feel the vibrations and watch how they move their mouth, to mimic it the feedback they would otherwise get from being able to hear themselves.
CZcams is full of cruelty.... how wonderful it is then to see something so wonderful.
100%! ❤
It takes a special kind of asshole not to appreciate these kinds of things :-)
CZcams ain't full of anything. People are.
It is not, it is just videos you choose.
You spelt world wrong😢
I’m hearing impaired. The moment they turned my hearing aids on, from what I thought was a near silent doctor’s room, suddenly boomed with the sound of chatter and technology whirring away. I broke down, then my mum broke down. Truly is a wonderful thing to realise you can now hear better but saddened at what you had been missing out on for years.
Better late than never, right?
Definitely. 10 years on, tech moves on, they are a god send
Yes
I remember 1st getting hearing aids, i walked outside and for the 1st time in my life, i heard birds.. and as of lately.. RAIN.. never heard it before. I'm still not there for social stuff, out technology hasn't quite caught up. aids are good, but they do not replace functional ears.
+Bigfan.... If somebody was born deaf his/her brain is not programmed to understand spoken words. Is a deaf person able to understand speech when the hearing aid (implant?) is turned on for the first time? If not: How long does it take to learn to hear and speak?
What we take for granted, others pray for. ❤touching
You hit the nail on the head. It's exactly that, we take hearing so much for granted. It makes me choak up every time watching these videos
Yes,I’m deaf & the moment they turned on my cochlear implant was truly magical!
3:51 the sister making sure the first thing her brother heard was "I love you" just melted my heart
Ice heart
Same. All the adults often seem overwhelmed and dont really know what to say. But this little girl does. Hands down the best first words someone can get to hear.
I caught that, too. What a wonderful sister! I hope she knows how awesome she is!
For real.
Omg same! 🥹💕
Man, the things we take for granted... I'm so happy for these people!
Ingratitude has robbed humanity of acknowledging that life is a miracle. We take life for granted. We do not actually see that the world is something wonderful and just magic,due to hardships and the negative attitudes and reactions of people ! Life is a miracle,no matter how we may perceive it !
It was hard not to cry along with them, for sure.
I was just thinking the same thing 💞
When life is simple it’s easy to celebrate every little thing. I think a lot of people are told their life will be happier if they are busy and working and jumping through any number of hoops. Old people never talk about their great work memories, crazy that people are sorta tricked into not just living simply and making life’s small moments the big ones in your own life
Here's what I don't understand. If they have been deaf - especially since birth - how is it they can understand the words that are being spoken to them? And no, all the deaf people were not reading the lips of the person talking to them at the moment they heard someone speaking to them.
I love the scenes in this video but you know what else? In times like these, when things all over the world seem to be harder and more divisive than any other time I can remember, there are thousands of people here all saying they were crying out of joy for someone else's good fortune. It's good to remember that most of us want good things for each other most of the time.
When you look at what people are divisive about, you realize that most people want good things for everyone. We just disagree on how to achieve it.
I had a freak accident, hitting the side of my head on my water heater, damaging my ear drum resulting in total hearing loss in that one ear. It was so difficult to deal with until I had surgery to replace that ear drum with skin grafting by the most amazing specialist. It's been 4 years and my hearing has been totally restored in that ear. These videos brought me to tears, happy tears.
Hi how are you doing?
I'm so happy they could do that for you
Both my parents were deaf. They're both gone now, too late for modern technology to help them hear but I am so happy for these folks who received the gift of sound! ❤
(It took me ten minutes to write this. I kept having to stop and wipe away the tears.)
I'm deaf from fourth generation. I have seen many deaf people try CI for few years. Also for the deaf childrem. After that, most of them completely abandon them.
Other thing about CI, many deaf children don't talk like the hearing people. It's very hard for the deaf children try to get the social with hearing. I know I said the harsh word about CI. In the reality, any hearing children don't want to be with them.
The best for the deaf children is go to the deaf schools where they can use the sign languages to communicate, no barrier, even the staffs use them. And they can play sports against the hearing school like my deaf friends and I did. We all had good times there. If we at hearing school, it's very hard for us to be on the any sport team.
My deaf niece don't have CI but she did attend the hearing school for few months, she at 10 years old was very upset cuz no one talks with her at all even at the cafeteria or playground. After that, she attended the deaf school and graduated. Currently, she attends the deaf college, Gallaudet University in Wash, DC.
The hearing people want to put CI on the deaf children to satieity them. Not for deaf children!
The most sacred communication for the deaf people is American Sign Language. No Misunderstood. With CI, lot of misunderstood and/or listen repeat(tired) to understand. When CI not working, it's completely lost. Even worse, they don't know ASL.
I do think CI is great for the hearing loss. Not profound.
Good day!
You know, even if you didn't mention you were deaf I could sort of pick it out by how you write sentences. That said it's true but you're looking at this wrong. Even it most likely is to benefit the deaf children but the thing is deaf people need to adapt to the new way of communicating. Deaf people, like your sentences above, will speak and communicate in ways that average people find weird in a way because you include words and phrases and arrange things that in typical informal conversation people don't do which is 100% a byproduct of sign language because you don't need all the words. Me, personally, I understand this so if the person told me they were deaf and have an implant I would immediately know "ahh, that's why they speak that way". Children are very blunt and in some instances quite rude to one another. It's not easy for deaf people to fully integrate in society. I'm not even gonna act like it's not hard for them but to say that we don't welcome their newfound ability to hear and communicate differently with virtually everyone is to be disingenuous. I long for the days we're able to transplant eyes (or full cybernetic cameras) into people who are fully blind.
I would love to just talk with someone who was deaf, who got implants and just talk with them about stuff. If nothing else I'd pick their brain about their experiences without sound and they can ask... well, anything. If for no other reason than to have a conversation.@@arthureginajones6785
God bless you
@@nancym5341
Thank you, and God bless you! 😊
@@arthureginajones6785 Strong disagree. Tell me about the insular deaf movement where people deliberately choose partners to ensure they have deaf offspring, and hate CI as it's people effectively leaving "The Villiage". 4th generation. And just like the film, the exaggerations of the evils of the outside world are scare stories to keep people inside. It's abusive AF.
I am a physician, and I can't being to list the gratifying moments in my job. But nothing comes close to these videos. If I had to do it all over again, I would go into audiology. Imagine being able to go to work each day, knowing that these scenes would repeat themselves over and over again! It has to be wonderful.
How do these people instantly understand spoken language if they’ve never heard it before? Makes no sense.
You serious?@@janeknight3434
@@janeknight3434the older kids may be able to read lips. As for the babies I could not hazard a guess. Whatever it is I sure do enjoy watching the facial cues. Just amazing.
55 n tearing up like little girl with a skinned knee!
If you ate a physician you should be sacked immediately for not realising that is is bull. This is like the glasses for the colour bind but so much easier to debunk with basic knowledge. I would love a reply to try to understand why you think this would work.
Who else cried during this
Me 😭
Anyone who didn't cry has a heart of a rock
Even as a black man I cried
I think about my friend who needs this aid also for more than 20 years.....
Me 😊😭
I cried. 😭 ❤️ I love watching these videos. There’s videos similar to this with people who are colorblind seeing colors for the first time using special glasses. Those make me cry too! 😊
@@alfrednunu425I love men that can cry because their heart has been touched. I think that’s a beautiful thing. ❤😊
I had a gf that was born totally deaf. Its amazing what technology can do to help people in life. She was very blessed to have her cochlear implants, and thanks to all the people that made and make this tech a reality! You all rock!
I can totally relate to these people. I started losing my hearing at age 30 and by my early 50's I had lost 90% of my hearing. I got my first cochlear implant 3 years ago at age 60. I was so taken over with emotion because I could understand someone talking that I started crying. My wife was in the room with me and when she started talking I understood every wood. That day when we got home from the doctors I sat outside on our backyard deck listening to the wind chimes, birds and just all the sounds that I have missed for the last 30 years.
When I got my other cochlear in the other ear it was the same reaction. It's just amazing what the cochlear implants have given me. Being able to talk on the phone for the first time in about 10 years. Being able to have a conversation with my family. The first time I heard a fire truck I was driving and I thought an alarm was going off on my car and when I didn't see any dash lights I look in the mirror and saw the fire truck about 3 blocks behind me and was able to pull over. I was so excited and couldn't wait to tell my wife what I heard. To this day I'm still hearing new sounds.
That is so cool. Something most of us just take for granted because we never had a hearing problem and don't know what it is like. Now you are one of the few who truly understands what this miracle really sounds like. I think that is a beautiful thing.
You gonna keep the device attached when the wife starts complaining? Or will you conveniently "misplace" your device?
Wow....there's always someone... @@thepeppermintslug698
So do you have a favorite radio station?
That would be the first thing i would find if i could suddenly hear again!
@@existenceisrelative Music sounds really bad over speakers. I do have a large music library on my computer that I can blue-tooth that sounds pretty good. I like the 70's, 60's and early 90's.
I am bawling my eyes out for these people. Especially the kids who can hear their parents for the first time. This is so amazing for them. I am so happy for them.
I think that most of us have tears in our eyes.😢
Me too. It hit my heart strings full bore. If only humans could treat animals with the same such love, care and compassion. This world would be a much better place.
It's impossible not to cry isn't it I am a mess lol
Same!
Opposite for me... it's the grown women and girls who have gone so long without being able to hear getting emotional that just gut punches me. Beautiful ladies.
If this makes you tear up, don't worry. It just means you have a heart.
Watching these people cry from happiness made me cry too. This was so wholesome ❤
Me too
Me to haha!.. why is it so powerfull ?
God bless all the people that make this happen!!! ❤
❤️🥰
I absolutely agree with you
Imagine Jesus healing all sick and disabled people when they come to heaven... When they serve Him of course. Otherwise they won't go there...
Which God, there's about 4000 of them in the world right now.
Personally I worship leprechauns. Lol
@@aliasrecolegendary
Amazing the difference is responses. Babies smile and giggle at a new sensory experience. Adults burst with such emotion, understandably. I feel so good for all of them - they're gonna hear things we take for granted - birds, wind through trees, rain, waves crashing, music, loved ones and so much more!
Yes these clips really put things into perspective!
Imagine them hearing a beautiful song for the first time. I rather envy them that experience. You're right; we do take so much for granted.
Guys this is fake as he'll. Remember the glasses for the colour blind ? This video is cashing out foe views with pure lies. Happy to reply to questions
And complaining.
@@jk-76 bruh
Watching these videos brings a tear of happiness, but at the same time makes me angry at myself how about complaining did I may have missed something. shows me how much I've taken for granted my entire life.
When that boy could hear, and his whole family was there, and his sweet sister said "i love you" i lost it. The first thing she wanted him to hear. Amazing.
What I find amazing is that people who were totally deaf can understand the words being spoken right away. I'd think it would be like learning a foreign language.
I wondered about this too, and a quick google search seems to confirm: If a person never hears language, they could not understand it right away. It's like you said, it would sound like a foreign language. Do hearing people understand sign language the first time they see it? Same comparison.
I imagine they are lip-reading
I wondered the same thing. There were a couple of people that they said were deaf from birth and one particular one had her eyes closed crying and answering questions that were asked in English and she was responding in English.
And can also speak perfect English. Something mighty strange about this video.
@@jonathandunn9302 That one girl understood what the man to the left was saying without looking at him.
As an musician/audio engineer, watching these always makes me cry like a baby because I couldn't imagine surviving my life without music
Video Editor/Audio engineer here. I'm gonna stand here and support you.
Musician/Singer/Songwriter here and tears of joy are flowing. I can’t wait for them to experience music. It is truly the elixir of life.
I met some deaf people at parties and apparently they _can_ experience music; particularly techno with its deep bass that can be felt with the whole body. When you see those people dancing on the floor you'd never guess they can't hear. It's amazing!
Music engineer/producer here. I'm with you. It's so easy for us who make our living with sound to take it for granted. This stark reminder brings me to tears as well.
I'm excited for them to discover music
"I dont want to hear myself cry" i frigging lost it, i cried, that was so emotional, and the lovely lady hearing her Husband, thats Amazing, lovely, i feel so happy for you both, but also ALL the others
To be able to hear yr sister saying "I love u I love u" to u and for the first time ever her sweet voice filling up in yr head, echoing everywhere inside, must be the most amazing feeling.
My son had a cochlear implant at 10 years of age. He’s 38 now and loves the sounds he hears but it took time and lots of rehabilitation.
Can you explain a bit more about your son's reaction and rehab? Was your son profoundly deaf? Did he ever hear at any point in his life, before going deaf? How long would you say it took for him to really acclimate to the implant? I'd love to know a bit more, because I wonder if for _adults_ getting CIs, it's not always an easy or fast adjustment.
@@andydufresne5297 After the surgery to put the implant in I had to wait 4 to 6 weeks for the area to heal before it was activated. Some of the side effects from the surgery could include nausea, headaches, dizziness, metal taste in mouth and vertigo.
Rehab started after they activated the implant and it consisted of mapping (tuning) the device which could take 6 to 12 visits. Also, I listened to a lot of audio books.
This is a beautiful video and I equally thank you for this response. There’s the amazement of hearing sounds, which is wonderful…and there’s the post implant or hearing aid rehab for the brain to learn to interpret and respond to all that it is now taking in through this sense. The longer the individual has been without hearing (whether it was at birth or after an incident/illness) and the level of hearing difficulty impact the rehab path, which includes the psychological and relational implications to such a change. Clear expectations, the right rehab for the individual, a strong support system of encouragement and understanding and the right amount of psychological space can help a person navigate this change, in a right way and right pace for them. For some, post hearing interventions, this is the right path, and others decide it isn’t. Thank you for sharing your son’s experience.
@@rbs1960 Thank you for the info. Now that you mention it, I guess it could be possible that due to swelling (if any) around the implant site, or something else about the implant location, the functioning of the semicircular canals might be impacted to some degree.
I believe that. A cochlea implant computes the signal for the brain out of a signal from a mic. Obviously that´s not easy and 100% percise so the brain needs some time to interprate that signals correctly.
I bawled my eyes out with every one!
The giggling baby’s reaction was absolutely PRECIOUS
That little girl at the end has the cutest reaction ever 🤩 The way she bounces with happiness, and that laugh is heartwarming.😊
The look of wonder and amazement on the faces of the babies just never gets old!
It's incredible to see little tiny babies being 'diagnosed' and helped so early in their development! What an emotional time for everyone ❤
In Canada babies all have their hearing tested when they are a week old. A public health nurse visited my most recent granddaughter at home to test hers and give her a general check-up.
Why are so many babies being born deaf? Is German Measles on the rise again?
@@AnotherWittyUsername. Same in the US. My kids were tested before we even left the hospital.
I grew up around deaf people because my dad was deaf so I don't think being deaf is the end of the world but being able to suddenly hear must be one of the best feelings in the world!!!
9 minutes crying 😭
Thank you for this precious moments. ❤
This might be the best job in the world. To be able to give someone their hearing. To bring such happiness to the person and the family would be such a rewarding feeling. I'm glad we have the technology to do things like this.
This was beautiful! I’m deaf without my hearing aids….a lifesaver for so many. Sweet babies and children
I can’t imagine what it’s,like being deaf without your deaf aids…thank God you have some relief with them ♥️🇨🇦
How old were you when you got your hearing aids? I am curious how deaf people can understand spoken words when they first get hearing aids.
I think she is like me, she's not deaf but very hard of hearing, the fact is that when you have worn aids for a long time your brain gets used to them so without them now its almost nothing, I mean I can sleep through a smoke alarm. Body is a strange thing. @@amyb3724
So am I. I miss hearing music. It is horribly distorted now. I am so thankful for my HAs.
im literally the same (been deaf for as long as i could remember really)
Bring tears to my eyes to see this. Such a wonderful thing.
2:48 She lived 29 years without hearing. Her emotions are priceless.
These are the absolute best, most precious experiences to witness.
Yes!
This wasn't really possible when I was young. No joke, this is perhaps the best thing humanity has accomplished in my lifetime.
Loved the lady who didn't realize she could hear herself talking until the doctor told her she was hearing herself! I watched that one twice ❤
I ugly cried at that.
The did better editing these than the colorblind glasses ones.
Absolutely!!!! 😢❤
This was so wonderful. I cried happy tears for all of the sweet people.
One of the most heartwarming and uplifting videos that I've ever seen. To see the wonderment and joy in the faces of the hearing aid recipients is such a great delight and a powerful moment that will inevitably bring a tear every time.
I'm a man of senior years and this video had me in tears. People with normal hearing take it all for granted and this made me realise how lucky I am!
It is something, isn’t it? How fortunate most of us are with having basic abilities, like hearing, seeing, walking, using our hands, fingers, and arms every day without giving it a second thought. I love videos like this that bring an awareness and gratitude for these things I typically take for granted. ❤
Same here!
same
62 here. Life really does harden us, freezes our emotions. We need things like this video to thaw us.
It's just mind-boggling how someone that has never heard a word spoken their entire lives can understand it when they can suddenly hear. It's wonderful to see
I was thinking the exact same thing.
They cannot. They can hear sound, but it is a whole journey to train the brain to hear and understand, through therapy.
That title is totally wrong, people who never listen before cant even speak, they probabilly were people who lost hearing
I just posted that question, too!🤯
@@birilanciosome deaf people do vocalize/speak some as they sign to hearing people. There are varying degrees of deafness. Like Marlee Matlin speaks as she signs.
But it definitely does take training and therapy to condition their brain to properly turn the sounds into words with choclear implants and other hearing devices.
A friend of mine lost his hearing as a teen, and got cochlear implants in his 60's. He still had to take many months to train his brain to properly hear sounds and turn speech into words and comprehensible language.
I cried the entire video! These stories are absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing everyone involved in this video. I’m sure these are vulnerable times for these people. 😮😊❤
Out of all the CZcams videos I watch these videos make me cry floods of tears. It is so amazing that we can how help people hear for the first time. Out thankss must go to the hundreds of scietists, doctors and technicians that have spent many many years learning on why people cannot hear and then developing the technology to help solve the problem. We live in remarkable times.
My childhood best friend was deaf, he taught me asl and how to read lips. I hadnt seen him for almost 20 years and we ran into one another and i had no idea he had cochlear implants till i started signing and he said "i can hear now" it was a special moment between two childhood friends seeing he could finaly hear. He now runs a tech firm like he always planned and its a multi billion dollar buisness. I have a special place in my heart for deaf people and always will. This and the colorblind people that use enchroma glasses are amazing things to watch.
What a beautiful accounting of a heart warming story.
I totally agree with you! I had a massive crush on a deaf girl in middle school. I tried to express my feelings to her translator hoping he'd help me out. He totally shut me down, wouldn't let her sit next to me anymore. I was like 12 years old or something. I didn't have bad intentions, I just thought she was super cute and wanted to get to know her. We were never allowed that chance, her translator wouldn't allow it. We're talking early 1980's here. 😢 Oh, sorry, got off track. The existential moment was during show and tell and I brought in my guitar and showed my class mates how to read tab (look it up) and then asked for a volunteer to try. She raised her hand ❤! As I instructed, her translator did his part and she played the intro to Fog Hats smoke on the water. And she could feel the difference in the vibrations (notes). I was smitten! God bless.
I cried with each one of them. I don’t know if I have ever been happier for other people than I did while watching this.
I know what you mean...our senses are such an amazing gift, literal blessings every day--maybe because we get this reminder with these videos and that's why the empathy is really eming lol... I'm not sobbing, YOU'RE sobbing!
Aww that happy little baby at the end laughing at her sister , so beautiful
In a world so full of bad news Stories like these make me have hope. Inspirational, Loved the little ones best and the last ones laugh made me tear up joyfully.
My husband had a coworker whose completely deaf daughter was a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. Her audition was on a cable show and it drew the normally tough director to tears. She danced by the vibrations and memorizing the count. She truly got in by talent and not pity, she was joy in motion. Who says you need music to dance? She was invited for another season but she wanted to go to Gallaudet College to become an ASL teacher.
She sounds incredible! I hope life is treating her very well and she's finding success in all her wonderful pursuits.
To be fair, all sound is simply vibration. Music is vibration. Everyone dances by the vibration.
@@shelbyseelbach9568It's not ALL vibration. You can't simply rely on vibration to keep time.
Congratulations to your daughter.
Good question, I've never heard someone say "you need music to dance" .
Also, she Was dancing to music. She felt the vibrations, as you said.
Perhaps a more relevant question is, "who needs to hear the music to dance"?.
Deaf and blind people can do things that amaze those us who take hearing and sight for granted.
However, there are deaf and blind people who have mentioned amazement that people with those senses do not use them to their full potential.
@@ArchStanton19966
I take it you've never heard of a beat.
A beat comes to us through vibrations, and we use the beat to keep time in music.
I got to say I can totally relate. I am partially deaf. I have been my whole life. I am 51 years old. I just got a pair of hearing aids. It has been life changing. I haven't realized how much I have struggled my entire life. The strain of trying to hear, read lips, process part of what I heard, isolate conversations in crowds. It has been daunting. I sympathize with all the emotions in these clips.
Why didn't yoy get them earlier? In de eu its like max €100, rest is payed by healtinsurance.
@@JoanterWeeleOur insurance doesn't cover nearly as much as it does elsewhere. The US system is a mess and people go into debt over it all the time. They end up owing tens of thousands sometimes. Every treatment decision we make is predicated upon "How much will this cost me?" I've refused an ambulance and driven myself to the ED because I couldn't afford the ride.
I agree, I'm very hard of hearing .When I speak to hearing people I use sign language and speak at same time. Mostly i refer not to hear.
They are clearly saying "DEAF PEOPLE HEARING SOUND FOR THE FIRST TIME !". That doesn't make snay sense.
@@jaydaschougule I cannot find any info if a deaf person who is born with out ear drums can hear, the answer i get is there is probably a nerve that is still connected to the ear so that it can be tapped into to allow a deaf person to hear. So i asked the question, what if the nerve isn't there? I got the same answer about the nerve being there.
Not gonna lie, that woman at 3:00 had me bawling like a baby. What a moment. 😭😭❤️
Yeah, that hit me too, imagine not knowing you can hear yourself cry!😭
I've seen that clip before, a long time ago and its still very touching. I hope this woman is doing well these days
The beautiful sister - crying and saying "I love you". She had planned for that to be the first words he heard from her. What a kind hearted sweet girl.
The adults reactions are so incredible. So grateful for science and technology for being able to do this for people 🖤
Im so glad for these people. My grandparents and aunt and uncle were all deaf mute. They never got to hear their own children cry or laugh and they died without ever hearing things we take for granted like music.
These are so sweet. I especially like the little girl who said " I love you" to her brother and he could hear her actually say it for the first time. What a sweet sister.
These are real strong videos....especially when the adults hear for the first time.....jesus imagine that feeling
People have no idea the level of emotion that goes through you when this happens. I've been that person in the seat and I can tell you, no matter how well prepared you think you are for that moment, it will make you cry. It opens a whole new world that you've never known before. I completely get this. Still makes me cry...
Remember, God loves you. ❤ Very heart warming. 😊
What was it like the first time you heard classical music?
@@ladvita32 Unfortunately, the implants don't convey pitch accurately so music is difficult to interpret. The human ear can discern thousands of minute pitch deviations, but with the implant you're down to 20-30.
@@bryede thanks! Still pretty neat though that I guess someone with an implant is still hearing the song, but it sounds like a completely new song. In a way, that's kind of fortunate!
That little children hearing for the first time made this grown man cry like a baby. How amazing. Seeing their eyes light up.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This is one of the reasons why I love CZcams, you get to see wonderful moments like this and it brings me so much joy❤
Makes you think how many things we do on a daily basis that we take for granted. I cant even imagine how amazing it would be to be deaf for many years then you hear yours or a loved ones voice. Or to hear a beautiful song for the first time. Spiritual.
We all take our natural functions for granted but watching someone be blessed with a new sense for the first time is so incredible. I could watch this video again and again.
I agree with you. Nothing is granted.
Many people have to learn, that the greatest gift is, to be healthy.
So many people want the big money, but you can be the richest man in the world and in a really bad condition. You can't buy health. It's our biggest treasure.
Please have a try at insomnia bc of noise or sensory overload. I was almost deaf from an ear infection once, for a while and dear God, what COMFORT ! In a way I'm scared for these people. That they would eventually feel robbed of their unique opportunity to not Have to hear, to listen, to respond, to stupid, constant, noisy, stimulation.
On the other hand I do very much appreciate great music, and "little" noises like birds chirping and all. I am in fact always very sensitive to them. So hate to read things like.. we all take for granted this or that. Yep, contradicting people who think everyone is obviously like them sounds bitter but I have read it so many times and the truth is, there other realities than yours
51 year old bloke and that last one made me cry like anything. So beautiful.
I'm 51, too. Same reaction, too. But why are there no adult males in this video hearing for the first time?
50. I'm not crying. Something got in both of my eyes at the same time 😭
The baby laugh at the end is just so pure and so cute, it’s just amazing.
I have lost count on how many times i have had to pause this video. When watching such level of happiness and gratitude, my eyes are getting so wet that I can't see. I just sit here and wipe. Fantastic that deaf people and people with severe hearing loss, are finally able to hear the voices from the people they love.
The infants hearing for the first time is amazing. For some reason, the older the person, the more dramatic and really difficult it is for me to not tear up a bit. It is amazing how much we take such things for granted.
I can't stop crying. It really makes me realise how lucky I am to have all my senses in tact. Something I just take for granted.
It’s the adults who really pull my heartstrings. Years and years of not being able to hear and finally getting to... their reactions are so beautiful.
I think its just miraculous having new health care hearing aids for profoundly deaf people, and children. Crying tears of joy.
Got me all in tears now. The adult ladies were the most amazing, cause they grew up without hearing, and suddenly they could hear! But so happy for the babies and kids who got to have a more normal life ahead.
And immediately they interpreted spoken words without difficulty and answered rather normally? It seems unlikely that they were actually hearing for the first time.
@@ermengard6960that's what I'm wondering
I agree with you,the adults ones are very touching,it so emotional ❤
I'm a grown ass man up here with tears welling up in my eyes watching these videos. We need to want the best for each other and wish for happiness and prosperity for all. This was awesome, god bless y'all fam!
Watching these miraculous moments brought tears to my eyes. We don't realize what it's like to live without sounds and take the magic of voices for granted.
I can well imagine what emotion is like when you hear it for the first time... it makes you cry yourself
such a wonderful gift that the deaf could wish for
I am partially deaf but grew up in the hearing world so i never learned sign or anything like that so I already had the hearing experience even though it was never easy for me. Watching their reactions to sound for the first time is pretty cool. I hope they all enjoy the sound experience.
We take so much for granted. Something we don't even think about is life changing for others. It must be overwhelming at first, going from silence to this extremely loud world. Thank you for sharing.
Their souls are soo humbled that they became so beautiful persons.
I absolutely love this!! ❤Makes me so happy to see something beautiful on social media for a change. Had me in tears… and I don’t feel anything anymore, but this touched my heart.
A year or so ago I got new hearing aids. My old ones quit working about nine years ago so I have been half deaf and getting worse since then. When I put in the new ones and the doctor turned them on was incredible. I heard things I had never heard before. You have to understand, there is so much more information your brain is having to interpret and process that it slap wears you out. At first I could only wear my hearing aids for about three hours at a time because of it. Over time you can wear them all day when you get used to it. Imagine never hearing a bird sing and then go outside and it is so noisy from the birds chirping you just about can't believe it. But by the same token, I can "mute" the world if I want to. I heard things and didn't know what they were, so you have to learn what it is you're hearing. It takes quite a bit of getting used to. Did you know hummingbirds chirp?
Thanks for the information. I did not know that humming birds chirp. I thought. It was just their wings fluttering.
@@stolnpckup my wife told me that they do and now I can actually hear them. They really get going at times.
Not only that, but they mew like a cat when you get too close to their nest!
I'm a combat veteran and retired professional firefighter of 32 years. I've seen the absolute worst humanity has to offer and am as jaded and calloused as they come... yet this stuff crushes me. Thank you.

Yup, don't get a hardened heart. :)
For me, I've found comfort and healing (to my soul) through watching episodes of "Dr. Wonder's Workshop". They're about 28 minutes long each, and available for free (no commercials, no ads, no pop-ups, no anything annoying) to watch at the website, under the Videos tab. It's a highly original and unusual children's TV show. But also can be easily enjoyed by adults. YMMV. I especially like the episode, from either Season 3 or 4, called "You Are Unique". Both deaf people, and hearing people, can fully enjoy the show. Recommended. It won't insult your intelligence. You might enjoy giving it a try :)
We take life for granted. At times people don't realize what other families are going through. This touched my heart to see all these precious little babies, and all the others hear for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes, knowing that their lives will change for the better, not only for those who couldn't hear, but their families. May God continue to bless you all in a mighty way.
@lorettapreter7256 God? God had nothing to do with this. This was SCIENCE! Your god, if he exists, was the one who made these people deaf in the first place. It was SCIENCE that helped them! You worship an imaginary psychopath.
I'm tearing up seeing these reactions. Just priceless.
My uncle lost his hearing when he was 19. It has been tough for him but he continues to move forward. This is so wonderful to see!
These are so beautiful and heartwarming ❤
❤☺
Absolutely beautiful!
It’s crazy that they understand what the sounds they’re hearing mean.
Like you’ve seen and signed the word “hello” but to hear the sound “hello” and know that that is what it is, is super interesting
That is what surprised me too
They gain the new sense, but we can never know if the brain is still able to perceive it as sound.
They can read it also?
@@tedlahm5740 yeah, for sure, but the sound must be so foreign, in my mind I would think it just sounds like what an unfamiliar foreign language would sound like to you or I, just noises without meaning.
@@Nobnoxious not even noise. Just visual symbols representing things.
I’ve seen some deaf people say they don’t like videos like this.. because it’s changing them like something is wrong with being deaf. I can understand what they’re saying but these are all so heartwarming. Especially the babies/kids.
Exactly, if you have the chance to help it why not?? I struggle with things and I’m happy to see that ppl are able to fix them. Idk I just find it weird they’re upset, it’s like getting glasses or prosthetic leg, no need for another person to struggle with something
Because it's their identity and they don't want to feel there's something wrong with them.@MaKayla-nr4qt
@@humansvd3269 idc if that’s their identity💀 that’s like a fat person being offended someone else is wanting to lose weight. If a deaf person wants to be unsupportive of another being able to get help, then that’s just wrong. Because THEIR identity is all about not being able to hear, then they need to keep it to themselves…while others who has a chance don’t want to struggle anymore.
I watch a lot of CZcams vids that show emotion of people and kids, but this one gets me deep. Tears flow for all of them be they babies, children or adult. It must be amazing for them to have the gift of hearing brought to them. Kudos to the technicians, engineers, doctors and nurses who make this possible.
❤️
For those that have been totally deaf since birth it can be a disconcerting event rather than a 'tear jerking' event, especially for younger children who don't fully understand the world yet. They are hearing sounds for the first time and the brain cannot totally understand what is going on. It takes some time for the brain to assimilate sounds with everyday things like a door slamming or a voice or a car engine etc.
Thanks for pointing that out. A lot of folks don’t realize that it’s not just about being able to hear sounds. The brain has to know & understand what those sounds mean.
And those born with no residual hearing… no amount of technology will make “hearing” -and understanding- a reality.
4:14 This little girl wants her brother to hear that she loves him. This touched my heart. Such love. =}
We take soooooooo much for granted, I can barely type this, the tears are flowing.. To hear ur loved ones' voices or even ur own voice can be something magical & Im Soooooooooo Happy that I got to see this, Much Love to Everyone
Love to all the engineers/scientists/medical professionals/manufacturers/Investors who make this happen
This was amazing and I cried for each and every person that could finally hear.
All five of our senses are unimaginably precious.
Fact!!
Sorry to get into your business but I don't know if we can about something,I need some advice
@@alfrednunu425 sure ask away and I'll do my best, but remember I'm not all-knowing.
I cannot imagine what it must be like for a baby to hear for the first time. That they light up so much - like they had been so frustrated, even though they were not sure what is was.
Bless to all the smart people who make hearing possible.. hearing your parent's voice for the first time is more precious than any wealth in the world... please let this technology be accessible to all ..even for the poor wherever they are.. every child deserve the right to hear their loved ones...
Always brings tears to this old man’s eyes when watching these.
I saw a news story about people who were candidates for cochlear implants, but refused to have them because they might become part of the "hearing world," which they considered a separate culture. One couple, totally deaf, were expecting their first child, and were hoping it would be deaf!
I was appalled. To me, it was as if a man and woman, each born without arms, were hoping their baby would be armless too! Helen Keller was said to have observed, "blindness separates you from the world, but deafness separates you from people."
I heard the same story.
I was determined not to cry…but I cried like a baby the whole time. So beautiful to see these people 🥲🥲❣️❣️❣️. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
This is such a blessing for these folks!❤
This is such a beautiful video! Can someone help me understand how a person born deaf can completely understand whats being said if they’ve never heard spoken words before? It just blows my mind…
If they've taken classes in lip reading they may be able to follow some of the spoken words from watching the other person's mouth. Plus the video does not show if the speaking person is signing as well. Basically a deaf person has to learn a new language once they can hear - and they must take a lot of speech therapy to learn how to speak clearly. Language is very tricky.
@@k.s.k.7721 Look at 3:24. The girl that was born deaf covers her eyes and still understands the spoken words "Can you hear me?". How can that be?
While these were undeniably touching moments, the title of this video is lazy clickbait. No one who has been completely deaf for their entire life would react with such emotion upon hearing for the first time. Presumably these patients were either hearing impaired or had lost the hearing capabilities they had when they were younger.
I'm amazed how they can understand what's being said when they've never heard words before
yes, because they can read the words on paper.
@@tedlahm5740 that makes perfect sense now that you mention it! 🤦🏼♀️

Not many youtube videos affect me on such an emotional level. Thank you so much for sharing these glorious moments in peoples lives. So glad that this can be possible with modern technology for those where it will work.
