One of my ears suddenly lost most of its hearing one day. As a musician, this scared me. I was scared i would forever be half deaf, or one day fully deaf. I was lucky enough the it was just a bunch of wax…but within that 2 weeks of not being able to fully hear clearly was heartbreaking. I realized you can really take things for granted..
Since i have become 12 years old, i lost my ability to hear on my right ear. I am ok with that, no need to worry. Sometimes it has it benefits. Imagine someone snoring. I just turn my face on the pillow and it's gone :D But holy shit, it must be a realy extreme cool world you are living in. You can locate sounds from where it's coming from, without turning your head to it.
Oh my gosh thank you for sharing your scary story! 2 weeks without hearing, even in one ear for a musician must have been devastating. I’m so glad you had a happy ending
It literally is, if you go back to the evolutionary roots of hearing all it is is small vibrations in your inner ear that your brain interprets into what we think of as sound. It quite literally is just a specialized form of our sense of touch.
I wonder though, are people who gain their hearing at an older age able to perceive music the same way we do or are they tone deaf? It is believed that children need to be exposed to music at a young age to develop a degree of musical sense, like how we learn languages.
This the same Lord whose people tortured and murdered atheists for thounsands of years? This the same Lord with the power to let deaf people hear but refuses to do so? Healing the deaf could have been a possibility thousands of years prior if it weren't for your "Lord". But please, pardon my interruption to your begging for forgiveness to this psychopathic monster.
Imagine hearing Beethoven, Star Wars, a kitten's meow, a drag race, crickets, the THX theme before the movie begins....all from the perspective of someone listening for the first time. Mind boggling, and heartwarming.

My ear doctor in Newport Beach, Dr John House, invented the cochlear implant. He was the kindest, most humble doctor I’ve ever met. I went to him for a minor ear problem, but I knew who he was. He unselfishly changed so many lives. Dr. House was a prince among men and a true hero.

Caro H if we`d be amazed everyday about every thing, nothing would get done. I took LSD last week for the first time... I know that doesn`t sound, like it is relevant to the story, but do remember, that LSD allows you to experience the world same way, as 3- 4 years old. When we are at this age, we don`t have fully developed structures in our brain, hence stuff, that is trash to us today, was a treasure back then. We all know what water is, ain`t we? We all know what fog is. But take LSD, go and watch at night, as river slowly pass you by, in a gentle flicker of electric light- lamp on the other side, while vapour forms fantastic shapes just above the water surface... Go into the fields, in thick fog, and watch, how everything around disappears, and there is only star- filled sky above you, that is slowly disappearing in the fog, so then you don`t know, where starts the earth and where skies end. If i was in that state constantly- nothing would get done- i`d be too amazed with the world. How come i have so many scars on my body, yet everything works fine? How many things have to work together, for me to reach and touch, and feel? Here we are, separated by great distance, yet you can read my thoughts... World is so complicated, that we should go "woah" all the time, amazed, that anything works at all. But if we did, nothing would work in the end...
Maybe. Since the title says she's hearing for the first time, the fact that she's talking pisses people off if they don't know that it can be learned. Though I read it is extremely difficult for people who never heard anything. Then there's people like me who thumb it down when I see people bitching in the comments about the thumbs down.
Yes, it brought tears to my eyes and I’m a life hardened 70 year old with hearing loss from guns, power equipment and age. I’m grateful for the hearing I have so that I can still enjoy conversations, music and movies (I always use captions at home). I thank the scientists who developed this blessing for this young lady and wish them continued success. To the scoffers, smart people can develop either crime skills or things like this. I want to encourage them to develop things like this; make life better for humanity.
My stepmother had poor vision all her life, white cane legally blind. She has had her vision surgically restored at over 60 years old and she explains it as a visual overload because her brain doesn't know how to proscess all the incoming information.
She has seen her dad probably every day of her 26 years, and hearing his voice for the first time in her life? Wow! As a dad myself that bit got me.. Actually all of it did.. Wonderful stuff!
Unfortunately, her new found hearing caused her a lot of embarrassment, as all these years no one had told her that what she thought were silent but deadly farts were very much audible in public.

Hey I think it's cool that she said she was black. I can picture her. Nothing wrong with that. She can describe herself if she wants to. @random person
I will always treasure the ride home from Duke, the day they activated my wife's implant. All the way home she complained I was yelling at her, why were the tires so loud, what was wrong with the car making all those noises...things she had never heard before or as clear. When we got home and I moved her to the power chair, a mockingbird began to sing in the Bartlett Pear by the driveway. She sat there for 15 minutes with such a look of wonder on her face, at the sound she had never been able to hear in her prior 50 years of life. The photo I took of her that day listening to a bird sing for the first time is one of my favorites.
The sound of birds singing, a wonder to behold, Thankyou for relating this story, brings joy to my heart that is sorely needed in these days of one 1/2 the country opposes the other. God bless always ( please, not trying to start another war of words here.) Like to hear another story of a sound she heard for the first time..❤️🙏👉🇺🇸

I don't think the device works well enough for people to truly experience sound, though I'm sure it would still be interesting to see their reaction. There's a movie similar to this on amazon prime called the sound of metal i believe
Me too. I just turned 54 and a few months ago and I nearly lost the sight in one eye. It hit me like a train and I have EVERY sympathy for those not as fortunate as me.
sugaryouth1...they are idiots and they make up most of the voyeurs on this platform. Even if I thought about this story negatively, why would I want to impact Amy’s situation with a thumbs down? It’s seems most people are only concerned with their own agenda, no matter how it affects someone, or whom it affects!!
it’s a wonderful feeling being able to hear properly, I only just got hearing aids after being partially deaf all my life, I’m 61 and they only just found out after a hearing test that I could only hear bass sound, it’s absolutely fantastic to be able to hear all sounds instead of just muffles, I’ve read lips all my life not knowing I was mostly deaf and you cannot believe how happy I am being able to hear, I’m so happy this girl can now hear I know that wonderful feeling she has.
I've got half the hearing in mine gone. Sucks being in social situations responding like you know what's going on but actually have no clue. >.< Consonants are hard for me too
Being hearing impaired for my entire 50 years of life. I am so glad they helped her to really hear. People are mean and cruel to those who are impaired in any way/shape or form. When actually the most beautiful people in the world are those who are missing part or all of their senses. Overcoming obstacles in life is beautiful. Congrats Amy!
I’ve never been cruel to anyone who was impaired in any way. Never even occurred to me to be. Rather, my natural impulse always is to be extra kind to them. Always.
It's great that humans can use technology to help. Isn't is funny how familiar we are with the 'arms' industry, maybe there should be an 'ear' industry to function as an antidote.
@@rainedmannickyburn2067 oh my god if i could meet an alternate universe version of myself where im deaf, the first song ever id make her listen to would be The Birda by Telefon Tel Aviv

@@Paddyman8869 It takes babies a few years to begin understanding language. Since she’s an adult with a fully developed brain I’m sure it wouldn’t take her as long
It's like discovering life all over again. Imagine for the first time hearing music, or birds, or the wind blowing through trees. I would be in tears constantly. This is amazing.
Implants are not yet good enough to allow recipients to tell one note from another unless they are separated by more than an octave, so melodies will not be recognizable or learnable, but she will certainly be able to hear rhythm.
Watch the sound of metal. It's a movie that just came out. Unfortunately, these things work but they're not perfect. Not really enough to hear music the way we do
My mother’s parents were deaf. She worked very hard to afford aids for her mother. Who then decided that she didn’t like hearing. Made her very nervous since she’d never heard anything before. So this lady is very brave & remarkable. Thanks for sharing!
It seems that the only thing left in life that brings me any happiness is watching other people experience a moment of pure joy. This video certainly did the trick.
there's gotta be more than that. Like....your favorite drink doesn't make you happy? Or your childhood/teenage music? There's a lot to live for my friend. I'm sure you have plenty of reasons to.

I can so relate. I am a post menopausal woman, childless, and in a relationship that will never end up in marriage. It seems like the only joy I can find... Is through others happiness.

yeh. but as a musician ive often wished i could turn my hearing on and off sometimes. like anytime someone has the radio or television on. god i hope they put her onto some decent music !!
I've been playing/creating music for 12+ years. Guitar mostly. But I have to say, as a professional musician, losing my hearing is one of my only fears. Music saved my life, as i thought of taking it some years back. Being able to speak my mind in the universal language that is music is something i could never take for granted. If i lost my hearing Id spiral back down to the idiot who thought living sucked. My music is my life and I dont know what I'd do without it.
Playing music is my passion too, i've always feared more to loosing my fingers or arms than hearing, dunno why but i recall watching video about a deaf female musician, she was always playing instruments barefoot so she could feel the vibrations from the floor and she really was skilled like a non deaf musician!
nanu Because we each have our own worries and pet peeves. There is nothing wrong with that. We just have to put things in another perspective, every once in a while.
You're right me too. p.s. still can't stop crying. I wish I was the one that could have helped ll of the deaf people hear & blind people see. Huge Kudos to the people that did it, by their wonderful work on this tech & medicine.
Rok Podlogar - Rick, I couldn’t agree with you more! And I was thinking the very same thing lol! What a wonderful way of beginning my Sunday! Blessings from Connecticut 🙏😊💜
Wait'll she hears music for the first time. She would've already been exposed to it through vibrations but the high frequency parts I'll bet rocked her world.
My deaf friend heard for the first time 4 years ago and he wanted to listen to music for the first time with me. I was so excited for him! He told me to choose a song and I chose The Nights by Avicii. It has been his favourite song ever since😊
Well, hello there, fellow human! bro good choice of music. some dumbass would have probably made him listen to 6ix9ine or some shit as his first song 🤦♂️
I was born with normal hearing but have a hereditary disease that caused me to slowly go deaf. Six years ago I had an implant fitted and the world is a very different place. Because it is not possible to sleep with the implant on every morning I have the same wonderful experience of suddenly been able to hear again once I attach the processor.
@@godmano9011 Yeah I'm one of those people who hears all the white noise, like the old tv tube oscillators rooms away. Had a few of those pesky little black crickets. You ain't findin' them either, no matter how much you look.
@Blank I stopped been able to really hear music from round about 1990. What I could 'listen' to from before then was mainly through memory. When I had my implant fitted I was told it was unlikely I would be able to hear music clearly if at all. When I got home on the day of my activation I decided to try and listen to Albatross by Fleetwood Mac and it was really clear. I'm not ashamed to admit tears flooded from my eyes. Since then as my brain has learnt to interpret the sounds again I have reached the stage that when I listen to classical music I can now pick out the individual instruments in the orchestra. I now have twenty five years of music to catch up with.

Good luck!!
The fact that this person had to actually say, “don’t post anything ugly”, is horribly sad. People suck so bad sometimes. Who could downvote a video like this.
@@vortex_1336 I grew up about half a mile from a deaf neighbor in his mid 70's. He'd been deaf since a teenager (baseball accident of some sort). I would mow his lawn and do other odd chores for cash. He was very good at lipreading and could speak pretty clearly, although still had an impediment due to not being able to hear himself speak. I remember he said that there was a surgery/procedure that existed that could restore his hearing, but he didn't want it. He was so used to being deaf that he didn't want to have to deal with the potential overwhelming experience of hearing again. His wife was dead already, and all he really wanted to do was just take care of his cattle farm in peace. He had a lot of money and could have afforded it, but he was just comfortable the way he was. He died a few years back.
Watching this just reminds me that my problems aren't that bad. The daily things we all take for granted are put into perspective after watching this amazing video. Good for her.

"Vibrations" is how she described it. Which is, well, technically what it is :p Vibrations through the air that you feel in your inner ear, which your brain has learned about. Probably not the same thing we'd hear, at all, in the least bit, as our brain has formed pathways to understand that. Oh you also see upside down with your eyes :p People who are hard of hearing, but not deaf, they might not even know it. Deaf people certainly do, can tell that in infants pretty fast. Like a new sense.... Imagine you could detect the heat of anything (infrared light) within a 100 foot radius (like even behind you). (Or if all other humans could, and laughed at you for touching the stove, that was hot, but visually black. When it gets to higher temps, well, it'll come into human visual light depending on the element heated :D)
Everything isn't vibration. Specifically, 'sound' is vibrations through air. (Or other material). That a human or some animal can hear. Even in space, someone can hear you scream. (Well, just yourself, probably hear some grunts or maybe a heartbeat. As that'd propagate through your blood to your ears. You'd probably be more worried with more immediate concerns, than what it sounds like though, like explosive lung discharge, water boiling on your tongue and eyes -- Don't worry, it won't be hot, just boiling :) It's energy, though, sure. :p A specific kind that a specific organ can detect. I think it's pretty different, than wearing a geiger counter, or infrared goggles. As an augment to senses to you already possess. (Or didn't)
Yes that is what I meant I should have worded it better lol. It is way to early in the morning for me to write anything overly academic but I was more getting at that all forms of energy stem from or purely are a form of vibration in the transmitting and/or receiving of it. That is why certain Energy based weapons can really fuck humans up, Sound in particular has been used many times for many morbid and ingenious purposes.
Man, Seeing her get all emotional and fiddling with her neckless is what i see my kids do. This is beautiful. I wish her the best in her new world of sound.
"What's it sound like??" I don't even know how she could describe hearing something for the first time. It's impossible to even imagine what that experience is like.
I can't answer for her but I had kind of the same situation with my right ear. My left ear's perfect but the first time I heard (a little bit, it's still mostly deaf) with my right ear was surreal, even though I'd heard all my life, coming from the right ear it was indistinguishable. It was almost like crackling tv static, like I physically felt it all the way in my skull. It was so foreign, like using something that had never been used before. I recognized the audio but it sounded very very distorted like one of those demonic voice filters they use in horror movies. It sounds scary but it was just wild
He’s prayed for this day since he learned she could not hear him 26 years before. A parent wants their child to hear for themselves the sound, timber, pitch and feeling of the words, “I love you.”
Imagine being a fully formed 26 year old adult, and somebody activates a new SENSE for you to learn from scratch. Just amazing.
it would be like if someone gave us highly accurate sonar/echo location. How do you process that?
Open ur pineal gland u get 4 Clear audience clear voiant Clear sentiment and telepathy ur welcome
I think at first every sound would be like noise because your brain never had the chance to create a reference library like infants begin doing immediately. Sound is just energy...it's up to your brain to learn what each signature means. Very amazing process.
I heard that a lot of people dont like it. We dont realize how set in our environment we are.

I went to him for a minor ear problem, but I knew who he was. He unselfishly changed so many lives.
Dr. House was a prince among men and a true hero.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_implant
Er...who said he...uh, was?
Cool story bro
Dont tase me bro
André Djourno and Charles Eyriès invented the original cochlear implant in 1957, Dr House improved upon the design in 1961
I had LASIK eye surgery 2 years ago. Now, I have 100 % vision. I am 29 years old. Since I was 7 years old , I had very poor eyesight. I could not even see my own hands properly. Now, I have 100% vision. Words are not enough to describe the happiness I have within.
So awesome dude, congratulations
@@albo181 Thanks brother!
Thats amazing! I imagine the transition from poor eyesight to an amazing one to be really hard though, was everything alright for you?
Congrats 👍
That’s wonderful. Congratulations.

@@mikebee515 what is
She’s so sweet. Overwhelmed by something I take for granted. I’m so happy for her.
Caro H and hot
Caro H if we`d be amazed everyday about every thing, nothing would get done.
I took LSD last week for the first time... I know that doesn`t sound, like it is relevant to the story, but do remember, that LSD allows you to experience the world same way, as 3- 4 years old. When we are at this age, we don`t have fully developed structures in our brain, hence stuff, that is trash to us today, was a treasure back then. We all know what water is, ain`t we? We all know what fog is. But take LSD, go and watch at night, as river slowly pass you by, in a gentle flicker of electric light- lamp on the other side, while vapour forms fantastic shapes just above the water surface... Go into the fields, in thick fog, and watch, how everything around disappears, and there is only star- filled sky above you, that is slowly disappearing in the fog, so then you don`t know, where starts the earth and where skies end.
If i was in that state constantly- nothing would get done- i`d be too amazed with the world. How come i have so many scars on my body, yet everything works fine? How many things have to work together, for me to reach and touch, and feel? Here we are, separated by great distance, yet you can read my thoughts...
World is so complicated, that we should go "woah" all the time, amazed, that anything works at all. But if we did, nothing would work in the end...

I’m almost fully convinced that there is an organized group of people that go around hitting dislike on every video they possibly can.
I was convinced also when I watched the video of a baby hearing her mom's voice for the first time and getting emotional. 26k dislikes.....
Folks. People pay for likes. The 'like spammers' hide what they are doing by sprinkling dislikes on random videos.
Just like some people get a sense back after years, some lose something!
Maybe. Since the title says she's hearing for the first time, the fact that she's talking pisses people off if they don't know that it can be learned. Though I read it is extremely difficult for people who never heard anything. Then there's people like me who thumb it down when I see people bitching in the comments about the thumbs down.

Give me stuff like this over crime and politics, anytime.
Yes, it brought tears to my eyes and I’m a life hardened 70 year old with hearing loss from guns, power equipment and age. I’m grateful for the hearing I have so that I can still enjoy conversations, music and movies (I always use captions at home). I thank the scientists who developed this blessing for this young lady and wish them continued success.
To the scoffers, smart people can develop either crime skills or things like this. I want to encourage them to develop things like this; make life better for humanity.

I will always treasure the ride home from Duke, the day they activated my wife's implant. All the way home she complained I was yelling at her, why were the tires so loud, what was wrong with the car making all those noises...things she had never heard before or as clear. When we got home and I moved her to the power chair, a mockingbird began to sing in the Bartlett Pear by the driveway. She sat there for 15 minutes with such a look of wonder on her face, at the sound she had never been able to hear in her prior 50 years of life. The photo I took of her that day listening to a bird sing for the first time is one of my favorites.

When I had my implant fitted I was told it was unlikely I would be able to hear music clearly if at all. When I got home on the day of my activation I decided to try and listen to Albatross by Fleetwood Mac and it was really clear. I'm not ashamed to admit tears flooded from my eyes. Since then as my brain has learnt to interpret the sounds again I have reached the stage that when I listen to classical music I can now pick out the individual instruments in the orchestra. I now have twenty five years of music to catch up with.
lots of cochlear implants at the hospital where I work .

Brings a tear to my eye. Knowing she is hearing her son for the first time is amazing!
Thank you so much for watching and be sure to see the updated video. ruclips.net/video/wWhdgPEMmaY/видео.html
Doctor person: "Let me know if you feel something like sound"
Amy: "I HAVE LITERALLY NEVER HEARD ANYTHING"
In fairness, it would have been an entirely new sensation for her, and she can relay that to the doctor, at least that’s my guess. It would be like us finding out we had a new limb
Doctor: "What does it sound like?"
Amy: "WOMAN! I have LITERALLY never heard ANYTHING! I have no frame of reference!"
She can feel the vibrations when there is sound, I believe
Keyword here being "feel", not "hear". Pay attention Bessie
@@pigeonlove hearing for the first time would be like vibrations all through your head, imagine thinking for the first time, you'd think who the fuck is in my head talking to me haha
You know most of the content on RUclips is garbage, but every once in a while you can view a video like this.
Stories like this truly changes your being, and to see someone’s joy of hearing for the first time, is a privilege.
Thank you Amy for sharing such a personal and monumental moment in your life.
Good luck!!
@Mark Foti Most of the content on RUclips is garbage! Dude you are righteous as F***!!!!! I second that!

I would love to see her reaction to hearing music. Imagine being able to hear Mozart, miles davis, Elvis, the Beatles... for the first time!
I was just thinking the same thing, music is the most amazing thing in life. I would just cry at every song I would hear if I would be her.
I would want the first music she hears to be me playing guitar, since she’s never heard music before she might think I’m good!
shes 28, not 100!

Glad for her. Bless You Kid
The fact that this person had to actually say, “don’t post anything ugly”, is horribly sad. People suck so bad sometimes. Who could downvote a video like this.
Some deaf folks are against this surgery.
There's a weird subset of the deaf community that is against any deaf people getting their hearing restored.
@@vortex_1336 Why is that?
@@DriesDroefneus the o key thing I can honestly think of is jealousy. Or maybe they feel she is “betraying” deaf people.
@@vortex_1336 I grew up about half a mile from a deaf neighbor in his mid 70's. He'd been deaf since a teenager (baseball accident of some sort). I would mow his lawn and do other odd chores for cash. He was very good at lipreading and could speak pretty clearly, although still had an impediment due to not being able to hear himself speak.
I remember he said that there was a surgery/procedure that existed that could restore his hearing, but he didn't want it. He was so used to being deaf that he didn't want to have to deal with the potential overwhelming experience of hearing again. His wife was dead already, and all he really wanted to do was just take care of his cattle farm in peace. He had a lot of money and could have afforded it, but he was just comfortable the way he was. He died a few years back.
That must be weird..she has NO point of reference for this new sense she is experiencing
She probably felt loud sounds.
But yes, there is a lot of learning ahead of her. Awesome that it was recorded, despite the nah sayers.
was thinking the same thing when she says she feels it.
Dylan N ghey
Seriously, eh!! If you could take a MRI of her brain for those first minutes...I bet it would look like fireworks!!
Her dad asked what he sounded like and she didn't have the words. She has to connect as bunch of adjectives to this new thing.
Watching this just reminds me that my problems aren't that bad. The daily things we all take for granted are put into perspective after watching this amazing video. Good for her.
Yep
Mh R I know I’m been whereing hearing aid since I was born but I think of other people who never could hear before. I have no hearing at all when I take it off
Oh well then let me show you my life and you will be set.
I have mental illness. I dont know how she feels, but i can guess because ive desperately wanted mine to go away. God is a piece of shit
@@101marsi there is no power in the name of Jesus. Jesus is NOT REAL it is a CULT. Its a fake ass cult, just like all the rest of them. Prayer DOES NOT DO SHiT. The ONLY thing that exists is GOD, and he is a fake asshole. All smoke and mirrors.
All our focus.. hard work and money goes to build weapons but not to treat such deficiency.
Her words and tears are breaking my heart . Love you sweetheart may god give you better future.
I would love to see a follow up on how she’s doing now, such a heartwarming video
@Tom Thomas AMEN
Same here!
Why not just read the video's description?

I find it really interesting how her interpretation of "Hearing" is "Feeling".
well technically it is feeling air vibrations....through your ear.....
"Vibrations" is how she described it. Which is, well, technically what it is :p Vibrations through the air that you feel in your inner ear, which your brain has learned about. Probably not the same thing we'd hear, at all, in the least bit, as our brain has formed pathways to understand that. Oh you also see upside down with your eyes :p People who are hard of hearing, but not deaf, they might not even know it. Deaf people certainly do, can tell that in infants pretty fast.
Like a new sense.... Imagine you could detect the heat of anything (infrared light) within a 100 foot radius (like even behind you). (Or if all other humans could, and laughed at you for touching the stove, that was hot, but visually black. When it gets to higher temps, well, it'll come into human visual light depending on the element heated :D)
Diax1324 Well it is all vibration. Everything is energy.
Everything isn't vibration.
Specifically, 'sound' is vibrations through air. (Or other material). That a human or some animal can hear.
Even in space, someone can hear you scream. (Well, just yourself, probably hear some grunts or maybe a heartbeat. As that'd propagate through your blood to your ears. You'd probably be more worried with more immediate concerns, than what it sounds like though, like explosive lung discharge, water boiling on your tongue and eyes -- Don't worry, it won't be hot, just boiling :) It's energy, though, sure. :p A specific kind that a specific organ can detect.
I think it's pretty different, than wearing a geiger counter, or infrared goggles. As an augment to senses to you already possess. (Or didn't)
Yes that is what I meant I should have worded it better lol. It is way to early in the morning for me to write anything overly academic but I was more getting at that all forms of energy stem from or purely are a form of vibration in the transmitting and/or receiving of it. That is why certain Energy based weapons can really fuck humans up, Sound in particular has been used many times for many morbid and ingenious purposes.
We take too much for granted, this is beautiful and very humbling
Lesa Harvey amen
I love watching the joy of these young people and their overwhelming reaction to something we take granted every day
Man, Seeing her get all emotional and fiddling with her neckless is what i see my kids do. This is beautiful. I wish her the best in her new world of sound.

"What's it sound like??"
I don't even know how she could describe hearing something for the first time. It's impossible to even imagine what that experience is like.
It could be scary. It could sound too loud. It could be like vibrations, like she said..
They could have played the sound of nails on a chalkboard and told her it was a beautiful sound and she would have believed it lol.
I can't answer for her but I had kind of the same situation with my right ear. My left ear's perfect but the first time I heard (a little bit, it's still mostly deaf) with my right ear was surreal, even though I'd heard all my life, coming from the right ear it was indistinguishable. It was almost like crackling tv static, like I physically felt it all the way in my skull. It was so foreign, like using something that had never been used before. I recognized the audio but it sounded very very distorted like one of those demonic voice filters they use in horror movies. It sounds scary but it was just wild
I suppose the best description would be like feeling vibrations in your ears/head?
Dad asks "what do I sound like?" to a woman that just started hearing sound 3 seconds ago
Made me belly laugh well done lmao
Yeah lol cracked me up
He’s prayed for this day since he learned she could not hear him 26 years before. A parent wants their child to hear for themselves the sound, timber, pitch and feeling of the words, “I love you.”
Forgive him. He obviously didn't know what to say.
Would be funny if she said gay
I can watch these videos all day. They restore my faith in humanity. We can give them simple things that are miracles. We can do it for many people
