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 :) :) :)
true ❤
❤You are absolutly right. I'm really happy that she got the chance to hear now❤🎉Girl I'm hoping you can go further in your life now❤Look forward and enjoy your youth at its fullest❤
Yeah! We are.
Forget the money, *this* is why: you go to medical school, dental school or any other program that helps improve people's lives!
Absolutely! You give up lots of playtime to study and study more. Then the day arrives when you can give such a gift, and you quietly smile into the stars.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well said.
NAH IT'S THE MONEY
AND THE WOMEN
Nah it's the money
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 ❤
Bless her heart it reminds us all of what we take for granted, we all need to be thankful for our blessings
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
I’m very happy for this teen girl. I wish her all the best and hopefully enjoyment.
You didn't watch the video liar.
I’m so happy for her and her family.
I wish this young lady and everyone around her a very happy life !!!
At 4:30 in the video, Katelynn says, "I'm just happy crying," albeit in the characteristic manner that people who were born completely deaf or with a profound hearing loss. You know it when you hear it. Based on this, how was Katelynn even able to enunciate the "happy crying" phrase such that it was understandable? Lip reading is one thing, but actually *speaking* for a deaf person is like finding an Egyptian camel in the Amazon rainforest. Someone with a professional background in hearing disorders could probably explain Katelynn's ability to speak. Sorry for rambling.
I watched this video twice and cried.
As an extremely blessed dad of 5 amazing daughters, this made me tear up.
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
@@antonliakhovitch8306 - If she never heard a bell before, she wouldn't have a clue what she was hearing. Obviously this wasn't her first time hearing sound.
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
@@anthony64632 There is one of you in every crowd.
How could they laugh. This is so sweet...I'm a 69 year old man and I am blubbering.
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'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.
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.
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
What a sweetheart. It reminded me of my times when as a very young girl, my beautiful daughter had to have tubes in both ears. The pain and discomfort she must have felt always put her in screams, and always put me in tears as I am now, watching this beautiful young lady. It's a blessing for her but I feel for the gent next to her assuming it's dad.
She is pretty and a beautiful soul. Good thing she can hear now.
No matter how many of these I watch, I still tear up, good for her!
You didn't watch it liar.
Who's crying??????
Internet hugs to you and yours!! Couldn't be happier for your new freedom!!! Much love!!!! :)
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❤
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!!
Technology can make many aspects of life a lot better...👏👏👏👏
or a lot worse..
@@jxstified7558 Double edged sword
She is so cute inside out...........And she got loving parents.........Love her communicating via gestures.........Makes her look like a baby.......
She’s so incredibly beautiful too. So happy for her. She’s going to have a wonderful life 👍
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
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.
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.
That was beautiful
IF ONLY AMAZING TECHNOLOGY LIKE THIS WAS AVAILABLE 200 YEARS AGO!!!
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.
I've seen this clip before. It's very emotional. I wish her and her family all the best.
When you start feeling down about humanity, these videos are sure to restore some faith!
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.
I guess we don't know how lucky we are until we see something like this so happy for her
Sh*t ...I cried too !! And the build-up !! OMG !! So Happy for her....
Oh ya I’m crying.
Congratulations!!
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!
This is such awesome technology. This is what science should always be about.
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.
Once in a while, the internet brings something joyous and positive.
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.
These videos always make me cry too.
If only they can do sth like this to stop the depression, instead of all those toxic therapies...
We are all crying in Glasgow Scotland for you
My Mom started going deaf around the age of 50. By 60 she was totally deaf, but eventually was able to get the implants due to being in otherwise good health and able to take the surgery. She misses music, and the adjustment has been hard, but a lot less hard than the loneliness that people experience when they lose their hearing. Imagine being in a room full of people and feeling completely alone. It's a life-changing thing.
She looked very nervous and scared, I'm glad it worked.
congrats. all the love to you and your Family.
I am so happy for you!
Beautiful and magical. I can not express my admiration sufficiently for all medical staff involved in achieving these miracles!
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
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.
Bless her sweet precious heart. Just so wonderful. ❤️
It's crazy to see stories like this. if you imagine: “one day someone knocked from the void”...
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.
bless her sweet heart
How lucky we are. Even having nothing.
Bless'er... I hope it works out...
To everyone that makes this possible for people. You all Rock! 👏👍
Beautiful. If only science could do the same for the blind.
God bless the creators of these devices and their staff for giving a second chance of life for so many beautiful and deserving people. No more “Sounds of Silence”
I hope I'll live long enough to see blind people opening own eyes.
I just can't imagine what it must be like having the sense of hearing....something most of us take for granted......having it magically "turned on" by modern technology.
So awesome! You go, girl!
I cried , and I am a 70 year old truck driver.
If someone does not know what words "sound" like, how are they understanding? This is just so cool, but I wish I knew more about it.
@@brianlynn6154 seconding this!! or it's possible they had an interpreter to help.
Or maybe they are using sign language as well
@@brianlynn6154 hurts to think there are those who will never hear music like we do :( 😭😭😭😭
Most deaf people can read lips to some extent, so they still know what words “look” like when they’re said. 😊❤
They know asl
Dad almost looks more nervous than daughter!!
We take so many things for granted
She looked so skeptical at first, legs crossed, arms crossed - she is totally not believing. Like, “what, ever.” Then, arms uncrossed and that thumbs up. Wait! Was that an ever so faint of a smile? Big smile. Tears. I’m crying, she’s crying, everyone is crying. There it is - SHE HEARS IT!
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!
All that praying worked!!!
No, wait, science.
That's one way to turn me into a ball of mush. 😭
Amazing courage. X
What is the cost of this hearing aid ?
This would rate so high in the list of Job Satisfaction!
How strange it must be to have to learn how words sound, instead of reading lips or sign language.
Wonderful, wonderful wonderful
science does it.
If they never heard anything before how do they understand what is being said?
lip reading, same as she did before implants. also it's clear the doctor was also attempting to sign.
I don't think she is completely deaf, but her hearing deteroriated rapidly from she was born.
I also support this beautiful teen lady. No matter what sense she had lost in her entire life 🙂
Could you pass one of those tissues through the screen please?

Good Bless You Darling ❤ ...
Best job in the world! 🥰
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 !!
Beautiful. I wish this fine young woman all the best!
congratulation よかったね おめでとうございます！Life is very long !!!
I cried for her too must be this damn stroke.
just so good
Hope its not inappropriate but she is beautiful.
I'm thinking her hearing will improve. obv her brain needs to deal with the new input and adjust accordingly. 🙂✌
Been in other Personly LIFE vs BIRDS? FLOWER'S, Tree's? Been responsible BECAUSE War?!
As someone that was never deaf, I have a hard time wrapping my head around why people cry at this...I would expect them shirking in terror at the loud noise or jumping for joy, but crying? Odd response, but the internet is full of this so it must be common. Weird I kinda wish I could experience this....on drugs. LOL
Merci aux chercheurs,aux scientifiques de ces miracles la médecine avance pour soulager ces enfants si heureux d'entendre enfin.. merci ❤❤❤
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.
The woman doing the talking seems wrong for the job. Imagine you are hearing a human voice for the first time, and you hear 123, 123, 123. Is that the best she could come up with? How about the young lady's name? Or something with some meaning. Or even just hello.
This is technology used for good things....should be done more.
Can't imagine not being able to hear.....imagine hearing music for the firstctime. Or your parents' voices.
Hard to not cry with her.
My father was deaf. As a young man in the 1970s I often heard people asked what good space exploration was doing us. This is what it did. Those space crafts need alot of electronics, but the old hard wire,with copper was out the weight wouldn't let the space craft fly. The answer. Micro ceruitry . After that micro surgery. Little babies with heart conditions, the deaf no longer were hopeless. I like to tell the story about my father. He went deaf in the 1930s as a teen. Fixing his ears back then was deadly. In 1970 in a clinic my father's hearing was restored, using micro surgery. Hurrah for space
Are you talking about integrated circuits?
In researching this reply, I found that the very first early attempt at an integrated circuit was actually meant to be applied in hearing aids. Go figure!
I was going to say something about how IC's are so damned useful that they would've become common quickly anyway. Turns out that, by some estimates, the Apollo program accelerated progress in semiconductors by ten years. Neat!
Anyway thanks, I learned something today.
