Hearing for the First Time

Most of us take our sense of hearing for granted, but these moving videos of humans hearing for the first time in their lives compel us to take a step back and appreciate the wonder of this natural ability. From a 7-week-old baby boy with hearing loss to a 40-year-old woman who suffered all her life from Usher’s Syndrome, you can witness the very moment when their worlds begin to change dramatically.

Whether a person’s first time hearing is later in their years or early in their development, these videos show us that the ability to hear is a true gift that can move and astound us.
