A heartwarming moment when a completely deaf baby heard her parents’ voices for the first time was caught on camera and captured the hearts of people from all around the world.
4-month-old Georgina Addison from Harrogate, UK, appeared stunned and ecstatic after her parents turned on the hearing aid to allow her to hear their voices.
As the girl’s mother and father admitted, young Georgina is always left smiling from ear to ear after they turn on the hearing aid and talk to hear.
“It’s like she’s having the lights switched on and she can hear her mum’s voice,” father Paul said.
“She is instantly delighted and becomes much happier straight away. Her face lights up and she looks delighted. For us as parents it is a true delight for us too.
“It fills my heart with joy and you just can’t put a price on things like this. Every morning she reacts like it’s a completely new experience and that will never get old.”
As the dad continued, he and Louise first discovered their daughter was deaf soon after birth when audiological tests confirmed their fears.
“Getting that sort of news is always going to be difficult. We focused on the practicalities of the situation and did our best to stay positive,” Paul added.
Fortunately, the parents got her a special hearing aid that will ensure the baby doesn’t develop long-term issues because of her disability.
“She’s a very happy baby and we made sure it wouldn’t become a long term issue. Every morning now when we turn the hearing aids on we get this lovely reaction from her. She smiles every morning when she’s able to access sound. It’s just gorgeous,” the proud dad expressed.
