This is the emotional moment a teen with irreversible hearing loss that she shares with her mom has her cochlear implants activated for the very first time. Katelynn Bronson, from Provo, Utah, shares a hereditary hearing loss, passed down through her mom, Jennifer. Jennifer, 38, started losing her hearing in her 20s, and after Katelynn, now 14, was born her family were worried she would start losing her hearing, too. Having passed her hearing test at birth, Katelynn began to show signs of the same condition as her mom after her first birthday, and she received her hearing aids when she turned four. Katelynn learned to read lips, but in school it was clear her hearing was getting worse, Jennifer said, so her family started looking into cochlear implants.

Sher doesn't need to worry about crying, she has the whole internet crying with her.
Wish all of you all the best.
So true!!
Love is all the matters and it's universal :) :) :)
Now this is ABSOLUTELY great use of technology.
This had me crying like a baby. Good for her.
And he is a Ringo Star look-alike.
You are not the only one !🥰
Need no more proof that you have a soul..😢
Me too ❤
What a beautiful young woman. She has concern on her face, but not fear. She knows that her life is about to change forever.
On these occasions you never find a doctor blasting Beethoven's fifth symphony into the patient's ears.
She's ready to triumph, like a true human
Bless her heart it reminds us all of what we take for granted, we all need to be thankful for our blessings
Imagine hearing for the first time and simply not really understanding what sound is or what to expect. Being asked if it's too loud and having absolutely no idea whether it is or isn't? A day she'll never forget.
When the doctor/tech said that her voice might sound like bells, that really put it into perspective
I’m very happy for this teen girl. I wish her all the best and hopefully enjoyment.
You didn't watch the video liar.
good for her. the nerves in my ears have always been so screwed up that a cochlear implant would make no difference at any point in my life. congratulations again to this young lady.
I wish this young lady and everyone around her a very happy life !!!
No matter how many of these I watch, I still tear up, good for her!
You didn't watch it liar.
As an amateur musician, music-lover, and frequently attending concerts, I dread to think I would ever loose my hearing. These vids show how lucky most of us are, blessed with the gift of hearing from birth.
She’s so incredibly beautiful too. So happy for her. She’s going to have a wonderful life 👍
Beautiful. I wish this fine young woman all the best!
I’m so happy for her and her family.
I've seen this clip before. It's very emotional. I wish her and her family all the best.
I watched this video twice and cried.
Who's crying??????
Internet hugs to you and yours!! Couldn't be happier for your new freedom!!! Much love!!!! :)
Need to think also about the professional people involved in improving the life of this young lady and of many more like her - what incredible satisfaction they must get from their job. Well done!!
As a proud Australian I'm so happy to see these stories, the Aussie guy who invented these Cochlear Implants should be a world hero. Dr Grahaeme Clark and his team have made such a difference to so many people since the first prototype was implanted in January 1979. Doctors, Scientists and Researchers are the best of our flawed Human Beings.
That’s amazing. I feel so down about the world and these videos make me happy. We should be happy for the gifts we have along with the gifts people create for others. God bless.
Not a hero when there are pro and cons. Unfortunately there are many cons with it but the professionals are not honest to tell that.
Twenty-three years ago, when rushed into hospital and oxygen was making me worse, the chest consultant on-call realised I had sleep apnoea, which despite visits to the GP had gone undiagnosed as at that time, it was believed rare in men and much rarer in women. The consultant was able to treat me with a CPAP machine which ultimately saved me and I still sleep with it. I believe that the CPAP machine was first invented by a doctor in New Zealand or Australia to help his dog breathe! To me he is a hero because before that time life expectancy was about 5 years with ‘respite’ periods in an iron lung. I think the young girl in the cochlear implant video, may well in future years realise how wonderful it will be to hear her own child’s voice. We’ve all become so blasé about medical advances we just don’t realise how hard working and dedicated the scientists are - the ‘invention’ of the Covid vaccinations are a case in point. To the young girl I say enjoy your new ability to the full.
@@anthony64632 well glasses aren't perfect either so I expect it depends on how the problems affect a person compared to not having the problem
Oh my God,this had tears rolling I admit.what a lovely young lady,hope she has good life going forward. Fabulous people who helped her hear.
I'm soooo happy for here ! What a wonderful and beautiful girl ! I wish here healthy and luck forever ! A hug from Peter Zwart, from the Netherlands.
As an extremely blessed dad of 5 amazing daughters, this made me tear up.
So there is a layer of...learning there. To learn what hearing is, to distinguish between noise and speech. It must be a very odd sensation at first! I'm curious to hear what she hears as it is turned up! Blessed Be young lady!!!
Speaking from experience…it IS odd & somewhat painful @ first! I recd my implant 15 yrs ago!😊
@@DippyHippie so much respect. Was it a chore to learn to associate words with how they sound? Like hearing someone say "walk" and interpreting it as the word "walk" you've always known in its signed or written form?
Just don't let her watch CNN or MSNBC
I'm a 46 yr old grown ass man. I consider myself as tough as they come, but I gotta admit, she made me get a little misty eyed. I hope she's living a full and happy life. Praying for her and her family. God bless.
What a great doctor. She earns every penny!!!
So cool! She is a sweet young lady. I hope she does well in all ways. I’d like to hear how she is doing later. Give her some time. Great job mom and dad.
Bless her sweet precious heart. Just so wonderful. ❤️
That was beautiful
Oh ya I’m crying.
Congratulations!!
When you start feeling down about humanity, these videos are sure to restore some faith!
This young lady is so cute. When she started getting tears I did too!
I’m an old man. I don’t get teary eyed easily.
Wonderful video.
Thank you for sharing this touching moment with us all.
Peter❤
fantastic been there, not totally deaf, but got it back, it was unbelievable walked out side and aww it was so noisy, I could hear people, birds etc; It just overwhelmed me at the time and I just burst out crying. I'm crying with her now. Bless her.
She is so cute inside out...........And she got loving parents.........Love her communicating via gestures.........Makes her look like a baby.......
Can't wait for her to hear a symphony with all the depth and texture of sound that engages us on so many levels of experience.
Human emotions are all same , no matter what region of the world we belong too. This is so beautiful . Just as her shirt says. Leave Footprints of Love and Kindness !!
I do not know who you are, but am so happy and excited for you and your family! That is really awesome!!!!
On these occasions you never find a doctor blasting Beethoven's fifth symphony into the patient's ears.
I am so happy for you!
Leave footprints of love. Indeed.
This would rate so high in the list of Job Satisfaction!
I am so happy for her and this made me cry. I’m a 60 year old man with severe profound hearing loss and know exactly what she is going thru. I wanted cochlear also however my ENT and audiologist feel it’s a 50/50 chance for me with my hearing loss with the cochlear implants. If it didn’t work I would lose what’s left of my hearing. I wear very high powered hearing aids that get me thru. Hearing loss sucks. I wish these kids with their booming music AirPods and headphones could watch these videos because at those noise volumes it’s the road you’re heading down. Enjoy your new ears, your young and beautiful and have a bright future.
Beautiful Dad and Sweet lovely Daughter; May GOD bless
congrats. all the love to you and your Family.
She is pretty and a beautiful soul. Good thing she can hear now.
These videos always make me cry too.
Once in a while, the internet brings something joyous and positive.
To everyone that makes this possible for people. You all Rock! 👏👍
bless her sweet heart
I hope this continues to be miraculous and a great success for the girl. I also hope there is a follow up video of some kind to let us know of the degree of success and quality.
fellow that i know, born deaf then received CI's...loves them because of the choice : sound or silence! He realized he wanted to hear, then realized after that he enjoyed his quiet, no-noise time as much!
Be grateful for your gifts at childbirth.You do have alot of people crying happily for you out here!✌️❣️🕊️
So happy for her
So awesome! You go, girl!
Bless you sweetheart 😢
I guess we don't know how lucky we are until we see something like this so happy for her
She is amazing 👏, need more support
I was one of the first cochlear in plant users, which I had in1996.. It took a while to understand words. I had some hearing in the past so my brain had to 'remember' the sounds. When my processor was switched on..men's voices sounded like dogs barking and women like Mickey mouse..I was laughing so much..and the doctors and nurses were in hysterics too. 😊😊
How's your experience with the implants now? I hope you're able to hear all the amazing sounds this world has to offer, and a mute button for the annoying sounds!
Wonderful! Have a great life.
Crys of Joy.❤❤
This is such awesome technology. This is what science should always be about.
How lucky we are. Even having nothing.
Wonderful, wonderful wonderful
It's what most of us take for granted but it's a momentous event when you haven't enjoyed hearing previously.
Sh*t ...I cried too !! And the build-up !! OMG !! So Happy for her....
God bless her. Even a good thing takes courage sometimes. Hope she has smooth sailing in her new life 🙂💐
Iam so happy for her..❤❤❤
God bless you young lady 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bless'er... I hope it works out...
One thing you do not have your imagination working for hearing anything at all , for this first time , it's deeply touching looking at it !
I'm very happy for her. I don't know what would I do with my life without hearing music. She is blessed and hopefully don't listen to Doja Cat
We are all crying in Glasgow Scotland for you
How could they laugh. This is so sweet...I'm a 69 year old man and I am blubbering.
Bless her. If I hadn't read the title. I'd have thought she waiting to see the dentist and worried. Doesn't look so happy, but it must be scary. Instead of saying 1 2 3. Why don't they some soft classical music, and increase the volume?.
I hope she is doing well and enjoying life.
We all take hearing for granted and I don't think any of us can grasp the reality of spending 17 years in silence and suddenly get this overwhelming new sensation of sound, It must be indescribably strange and jarring.
That's so awesome I'm happy for her 😀😁
She looked very nervous and scared, I'm glad it worked.
just so good
Had me crying too!
❤ how wonderful.
We take so many things for granted
Best job in the world! 🥰
Imagine having a whole new _sense_ installed. Moreover, one that everyone else takes for granted but is entirely new to you.
I don't know if she knew what she was getting herself into, but she looks ready to face it.
Daily random sounds are one thing, but also associating words (spelled, signed) with how they sound.
At this point, e.g. she couldn't possibly know what "overwhelming" means without it being spelled or signed in front of her. She has a long journey but nothing she hasn't or couldn't conquer already.
Tears!
Beautiful. If only science could do the same for the blind.
Wonderful share. Sadly, I have seen where this implant is successful and then the recipient is subjected to harsh treatment by their former non-hearing companions. This needs to be recognized and stopped by all. If a subject is successful, they should be embraced and provided therapy to deal with this undesirable aspect of it all. For this wonderful young lady, I wish her all the best.
Science is amazing.
May her future shine brightly. I can’t even imagine what that feels like.
If cochlear implants are so emotional for them, imagine how it’ll be like for the patients when scientists will get artificial eyes working.
How sweet 😊
It's crazy to see stories like this. if you imagine: “one day someone knocked from the void”...
If only they can do sth like this to stop the depression, instead of all those toxic therapies...
Awesome.
Dad almost looks more nervous than daughter!!
My big brother Mike Blair was deaf, we all know sign language, it would have been great to do this with him. Hang in there sweetheart, you are very brave...
I consider myself an alpha male, made hard by hard experience, yet compassionate at the core, and father to a fantastic daughter. I am not ashamed to say to the world this brought tears of joy to my eyes. We must thank the hundreds (if not thousands) of people who contributed parts of their lives, talents, and capital to achieve this technology.
Technology can make many aspects of life a lot better...👏👏👏👏
or a lot worse..
@@jxstified7558 Double edged sword
Good Bless You Darling ❤ ...
congratulation よかったね おめでとうございます！Life is very long !!!
To those who know, will she now be able to improve her speech through therapy?
Yes, but she can also train with specific programs on an app her cochlear implant company provides. I got my implants 3 months ago and can hear almost everything now. It takes 3 to 6 months to get 20-40% word comprehension depending on daily training, and up to 60% for most after a year. I plan on training every day and test frequently to get my word comprehension up to 90% if possible.
Thanks@@taoist32
Sometimes CZcams algorithms hit it right on the head.I so needed this today.Thank you for sharing! Follow up?
At 4:30 in this video, the young lady seems to say, "I'm just happy crying." 😭 You'll need to listen very closely, but that's what I thought she said.
Now, I have a question about that. Seeing she has never heard her own voice before, or maybe just barely, how was she able to partially enunciate what she said? Is it a combination of lip reading and speech therapy? Or some other form speech therapy? Someone, please let me know.
If I was the therapist, the first think I would have her hear is Mozart.
I cried , and I am a 70 year old truck driver.
