8 Month Old Deaf Baby’s Reaction To Cochlear Implant Being Activated @ pogpog.com

This 8 month old baby was born deaf, watch the moment as his cochlear implant is activated and he hears sound for the first time, and his mother’s voice.

As seen on pogpog.com

Just the time to discover that he will hear a lot of bullshit on tv and radio for the rest of his life, but this moment when he’s hearing his mother’s voice for the first time is so sweet, in that actual messed up world, it is just a one minute break to remember how life is wonderful and how lucky we are to feeling good in shape. I wish the best to this smart boy and his family.
