Baby With Cochlear Implant Hears Mom for the First Time in Touching Video

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 37 million adults in the United States have trouble hearing, and some 71,000 children in the United States receive special education because of hearing problems, reports the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at agelesscupi d.c om a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

Priceless moment.

God bless that child...god bless him. The fact that he can now hear is obviously a gift given from God himself. God has made that child's life an even better one. Now that he can hear, he can experience all the things in this world that are beautiful in the concept of sound. Birds chirping, other children playing, ocean waves when at the beach, everything! God bless Jonathan & his wonderful mother & father!

I am in love with that baby...he is so sweet...

Ok I am not going to cry...lol!

This video is extremely adorable. We all agree on that. But look at the numbers.....not that many people in the U.S. could afford an implant like this. Health care at it's best is UNAFFORDABLE.

Now, Mommy, remember how precious this moment was and how you have been wishing he could hear you-now he can. I challenge you ( with all the love a Mother possesses ) to never let him hear your anger at him-no matter his age, or the reason; never let him hear you say scary things about the current situation your family is in and never let him hear you say bad things about anyone. We all say we will raise our kids this way but we forget this once we get home from the hospital with them. You were given a chance most of us were not-you still know that feeling of wanting to be the greatest example and teacher your baby could have - if only he could hear your example! Now he can-make us all proud, girl! God Bless everyone who made this possible!

I'm agree with you. Congratulations Jonathan!

Cory,
How is this cochlear implant a "gift from god"? Seems to me it is a gift from science. Why do you have to credit everything wonderful to your religion and force it on the rest of the world? If the cure was a gift from god, why wasn't his deafness a gift from god? Or why did god allow him to be born deaf? It is fantastic that that little guy will have a somewhat normal life, but stop pushing your fairy tale religion on the rest of the world.

Cochlear Implants are NOT safe and it is consider as murder! I had 2 cousins that had died from damn CI!!! It is soo STUPID to have them!

It's a good thing that this sweet baby received this wonderful hearing device before Obamacare kicks in. When that happens, the government will deem it too costly and the poor child will have to live a life in total slience!

As a CI person, I am saddened to see this decision to be made by his own parents as my parents did. What s about his right as an infant? I wish my parents did not make the decision but forcefully made their happiness! What s about his happiness as I ve experienced mine unhappiness since I was 4 years old. As an adult, I am facing alot of consequences due to risks of CI as I age! Unfortunately, his parents will be facing alot of consequences when he gets older as my parents have.

Amen! (Pun intended.)

Along with Skizzy, I must agree that we really ought to laud modern technology and science, in particular medicine, for the boy's new found ability to hear, what I am sure he thinks is, his mother's sweet voice. Should we not conclude from the boy's deafness that "God" (whatever, if anything, that noun denotes) was the cause of his impairment? An emotionally-driven confirmation bias if I ever saw one.

Hey, Dizzy [Oh, sorry: I mean Skizzy]: Cory didn't say it was a "gift from god." A "god" cannot offer any gift, since a "god" "cannot hear because no one is listening [Gen 3:5]." Cory said it was a "gift from God."

Awwwww.....I won't tell anybody. Did you see that sweet baby?

Gunfunnit ... that was so moving and so cute ... that I forgot I'm here to complain about privacy concerns. But first ... how can anyone question cochlear implants after seeing this clip. That little face lighting up with joy and even chuckling a bit. A moment for Mom and Dad to treasure forever ... and one which I ... a perfect stranger .... will always remember. Wonderful .... just wonderful!
