Disabilities In The Media: Mom hears for the first time

Can you imagine never hearing your parents’ voices? Or your child say “Hello“? Thanks to implants, twenty-six-year-old Amy heard the world around her for the first time last year. The video, which has gone viral, was uploaded to YouTube last September by Amy’s aunt, Catherine Arnold. “”Her pronunciation has improved vastly and she can hear words and especially music!” she says.

How amazing is that? The video is definitely worth a look. Her son says “Hi, Mom” at the 3:05 mark… xoxo

    This totally made me tear up. I've seen videos of hearing impaired people hearing for the first time and it always gets me. There's one of a baby hearing for the first time, the look on his face is just priceless.
