DEAF PEOPLE HEARING SOUND FOR THE FIRST TIME ! #3 

Like ugly cry, too

YEP. 43 and crying.

Sure made me choke up

I don’t think there is anything better than watching these people receive such a blessing. Truly heartwarming

I'm thinking that men's tear glands atrophy as we become adults. So we are unable to cry.

Well,l'vehadmycleansingtearsforthe

Totalmente

We are far more blessed than we realize. Glory be to God

For SURE!. We are privileged in most ways really

@@Jason-Dawg But some more than others, I guess? God can choke on his glory.

@@darkprose sorry you feel that way

Notamment Mozart...

@Damien616 bro, settle down. It's obvious these people appreciate hearing their loved ones. I never said nor implied that music was more important than that. I was simply excited for them to experience music, as it ALSO connects them with humanity and love, and will fill that silence as well. So, stop trying to be king shit on the internet and go "reconnect" yourself.

@@ampere11 No one needs to be told to settle down BRO. Nothing I said needed told to settle down BRO.

*sniff* Canadian here. Fuckin Oi Oi Oi, eh?

He did not invented it ! He participates to this big research for Australia. It is a long work since 1957 with team from France, Austria, Australia and United States. But now all manufacturers apply the principles of the Bertin patent, defined by the french P. Mac Leod and CH Chouard.

Why is everyone from Australia so kind or funny?

Clark was one of the pioneers heavily involved in improving earlier attempts by several others. Cochlear (the company) was founded in Australia with some funding via a grant from the federal government to produce the implants commercially. Shares in the company are now over $A250 each. About 25 years ago when I bought some shares, the price was about $A10. I only have about 50 shares and when I bought them, I did so to support the company. It ended up being a good investment though, so I got back much more than I gave.

Frenchmen André Djourno and Charles Eyriès were the original inventors

Glad you enjoyed it!

I was inspired to write a comment like yours but then I saw that you had said everything I wanted to say and had put it far better than I would have done!

I cry ever time I watch one of these

@@JosephSullivan-ix3lj me too!

I love you

Maybe she'll love you one day

I just hope, with all my heart, that blind people will one day have some of their sight restored the same way.

I can imagine that this was very overwhelming for you, I mean you were born without this hearing sense, it's like being given a sense, how did you cope with that, Isn't this a synaptic overload?

@@Iceguide Because I was born deaf, it was easier for me to accept it was part of my life. I wore hearing aids most of my life until my mid 40’s, when my hearing I had went bad. The CI operation took 3 hours and it was activated the following week, at first it was a sensory overload. The first 2 months were the hardest, having to relearn what sounds and noises were and what made them etc, but after about 4 months it started to even out. The good thing for me is I am hearing things I would not normally hear, so it has been a big change to my life in that regard. Still there are situations where it is difficult, noisy places don’t help. Other than I am happy with the result.

@@dalehenry5233 Thank you for your explanation, my best wishes...

do you have any hearing drums?

I’m loosing my hearing. I’m curious how non hearing can understand language after gettin the implant.

And God bless you too!!

I cried too so beautiful a Mom boy

There are a lot of Deaf/Hard of Hearing folks who wouldn't want Deafness to be eradicated. Cochlear implants aren't for everyone. I'm kind of surprised you worked with Deaf/HoH folks for so long and would say something like that to be honest. Being able to hear isn't required to be a full, complete, and functional human.

​@@BenSwagnerd You are wrong and since you started to question her expertise, I am telling you mine: I am a psychoanalyst and YES, you need to hear to FEEL complete, especially mothers and the "fact", why some deaf people refuse to have implants is NOT, that they don't want to hear, but feeling intiminated, but that is all on them alone, on nobody else. It is FACT, that some emotions can only occur by being able to HEAR, since only then will the brain react in the way it is supposed to. Robert has stated it very good and I can relate to that out of a diffrent perspective, since I am not deaf, but my hearing is slightly different, due to the fact, that my ears are VERY close to my skull and also, I got a LARGE skull as well - what this has to do what he said? A lot of deaf people are AFRAID of hearing themselves, not liking their own voice, not only because others found it to be odd, but because they are not used to it AND they are "hearing" themselves inside their head while thinking and more important, sleeping/dreaming. I can't stand my own (recorded) voice either, cause it does sound completly different to what I am hearing when I am speaking and singing and even though most people like my singing voice, I will never get used to it - the reason for that is a technicality. You are not only hearing with your ears, but also with your skull, else, the cochlear would not work at all and in some cases, like mine, the brain is not able to put things straight, cause you know that it is your voice, but a part of you refuses it.

How do they feel about hearing music for the first time Robert, it must be amazing?

How do some of those people understand spoken word immediately and answer the questions if they didn't hear spoken word before?

Why not get the best of both worlds?

I've heard you can literally go mad from this cause your brain will simply not be able to handle it and nuke itself. But maybe that's more for people who truly never ever heard anything - 100% deaf.

@@mrcrabowski Only if they drop you in a rock concert or in the middle of a busy street. Otherwise is fine. You start in a quite place just hearing one or two people and then slowly get used to it.

who its science who helped these people not an imaginary person

​@brucedickinson12 how about let people believe in God and leave them alone. If you're that offended just keep scrolling.

grow up @@CharlesEBright

@brucedickinson12 how about stop harassing others and slamming their faith. Is it really bothering and offending you that much?

@@CharlesEBright how about growing up

.❤❤❤❤

They only show the novelty of something new...but that's not the whole story.

I think that’s beautiful

Same here 😭

Same, and I sing too. I was just practicing 80s to Right Now by Van Halen and Get Lucky by Loverboy when I ran across this video.

No, thank science and a metric ton of hard work by humans.

it's okay to cry.

Agreed. 100%.
