Boy hears his dad for the first time!

[Negativities]

A 3 year old boy had received implants to recover the damage to his ear that had caused deafness since birth. 3 years after birth this kid was finally able to hear again and the first thing he heard was his dad.

Stuff like this makes me super happy. I've watched one before of an older person finally being able to hear and her reaction was so amazing.

Oddly there are factions of the deaf community who've condemned these advancements as being some sort of attack on deaf people, but I can't personally understand how giving someone a better quality of life with no real infringement on anyone can be anything but a great thing. Some people just love complaining and playing victim I think

Aww that was nice to watch, he looked so happy and excited.

These videos give me a little hope in society, however; it's so damaged, it's hard to predict the future with new generations.

That is really sweet. It's times like this that really make me love medicine.

Hearing is something we all take for granted. Its crazy to even think of life without hearing.
On the same note, I spent a couple of ours blindfolded as part of a challenge and it is crazy hard to be, in effect, blind.
What these people must feel when they finally get the ability to hear or see, is just CRAZY.

Awww that is so sweet! We should be grateful for what we have and the medicines available to us.
