For those of you interested in how I make all my videos, I use Wondershare Filmora to edit my videos. I hire different researchers and writers for scripts and professional voice artists to create engaging content, use stock footage (both free and paid) and add visual effects that will leave you watching the channel for hours.
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel, we love you! 💛
This should come with a warning label. This video will make a grown man cry.
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.
For us who have the gift to hear and see the world properly this should be a reminder how privileged we are.
Yes, we are. I can not imagine how this affects these people as we take it for granted that we can see and hear. I am so happy for these people. Makes me tear up a bit.
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.
For the staff, this must be one of the most rewarding professions.
Well, I've had my cleansing tears for the day . . .

I was an Optician for almost 40 years and got to see young kids kids faces light up when they could see clearly for the first time. Those memories are stuck in my brain.....and mean a lot for me.
Every time I watch videos about cochlear implants I think to myself, "wait until they hear music."
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.
"I'm not crying. You're crying.". God I never get tired of these videos. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!

The person who gets to turn the thing on has the best job in the world.
Professor Graeme Clark invented the cochlear implant. We Aussies are so proud that he's helped millions of ppl worldwide to hear 😊
*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
This is the most wholesome thing on the internet by far, seeing people hear for the first time is so touching and inspirational, that we take for granted our hearing … we need to be more thankful for the privileges we have!
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!

There is nothing more beautiful than tears of joy!
I was born deaf and watching these reactions, I can relate in many ways. The cochlear implant I have now is far more better than any hearing aid I have ever worn.
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.
My wife and I are both so proud we invested in Cochlear way back in 1995. We thought this could only bring happiness into this world, and now it's bringing tears to my world. Beautiful seeing so many fortunate enough to have these implanted and sharing their expressions with all of us here.
I worked in the field of deafness (mostly in independent living programs) and am old enough to know when the cochlear implant first was coming out. So many deaf people thought it just one more imposition forced on them by hearing people. I was behind them after so many years of ineffective work, devices, coded languages . . . from hearing people trying to make them "hearing". But finally, OMG, it's here/hear!!! It is so obvious to see the people with profound deafness throughout their lives are so much more emotional having been so isolated from the world for so many years. It makes me cry every time I see someone's implant turn on for the first time. And, so many, are so embarrassed by their own voices which obviously sound "deaf" which most deaf people have been teased about by society in general for not sounding right. I just want to reassure them in time their voices will soon become so normal. What a thrill, will deafness be eradicated completely throughout the world? wow!
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?
We take so much for granted. It is a beautiful thing to watch people experience these sensations for the first time. We need to remember to always appreciate everything we have.
I just hope, with all my heart, that blind people will one day have some of their sight restored the same way.
It's Sunday, October 1st, and I'm sitting here at home and can only cry with compassion and heartfelt joy for these people. I wish them all with all my heart and wish them a wonderful, new future... God bless you and the people who make something like this possible!
And God bless you too!!
This has to be the best job in the world for those that do this for people. Bless you all.
2:01 this is one of my favorites. The way the little boy immediately went and hugged his mom after hearing for the first time is just too adorable❤
I cried too so beautiful a Mom boy
I love watching this as well as those who see color for the first time. Most take these abilities for granted but not these people
Watching these videos and the reactions is more valuable than all the most "Priceless" things this world has to offer! I would give up everything just to see everyone find joy
My goodness this is beautiful
Can you imagine never hearing before and then getting home n being able to listen to all the masterpiece peices of music you have heard about all your life... or finally hearing yourself and it being like a stranger....🤯
i just knew before i clicked on this vid..i was going to be in tears by their reactions to hearing for the first time..god bless them ❤❤
so beautiful to see people experience hearing for the first time
Imagine being there everyday. What a gift! Thank-you God, for this incredible miracle.
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
I met Lou Ferrigno at the California State Fair in 2006! Seeing his reaction makes me cry because I know this was a long time coming! He was there for Super Hero day! Lou is truly a Super Hero! All my best to you Lou!
These are the most heart warming and lovely videos ever made. I can't help but turn into a big teary nose runny mess. Love them so much!!!
what breaks my heart the most is that I've been hearing well my entire life and yet have never heard my own mom say she loves me ... between these beautiful moments and wonderful parents, I'm overwhelmed. I'm grateful for my hearing but I'd give it up for my mom to have loved me like that.
I love you
These videos are truly the most heartwarming on you tube.
I'm 85% deaf in my left ear and i know that overwhelming feeling when you are able to hear more, all too well. ❤ :')
Some of the most beautiful moments! ❤
I'm in floods of tears. It is so beautiful to see the reactions of these people who are hearing for the 1st time.
Que hermosos momentos totalmente auténticos, sin actuaciones. Bendiciones para todos ellos
With all the negative videos we're addicted to, it's nice to see something so heartwarming.
It is just amazing how this videos touch us to the core..so beautiful..i am so happy for them
As a musician who plays several instruments, I cannot imagine not hearing the music in the world. This is very emotional.
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.
This made me cry. It gave me a new found appreciation for what I have rather than focusing on what I have not. I'm still struggling a lot especially emotionally and it hurts when you just can't tell anyone about your problems.
❤ this is so beautiful, I don't know how I ended up here but these moments, these overwhelming moments capturing such intense joy.. I love this so much. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
wow i wish i could work in a place that has tears of joy like that. awesome
I'm a 33 yr old man and these videos bring me to tears. It's so lovely to see!
We all are guilty of moaning and groaning, while we see these people who never complained, and now that they are able to hear, they are amazed. Imagine NOT hearing. This is wonderful, and shows that we must NEVER take anything for granted!!
I bet it feels so fulfilling working in a field like this. The reactions in the end must be so worth it 😭
Thank you, it made me very happy emotionally, 100 % beautiful outcomes, and I love it!!!!
That's probably amazing for professionals. Seeing and taking part of these moments. ❤❤❤... Beautiful experiences!!
I experienced similar overwhelming feelings after recent life-changing vision surgery. After years of seeing constant overlapping and double images and having no depth perception due to a severe case of strabismus, I woke up from a one-hour procedure to PERFECT vision. I was completely stunned. I spent about the next two months wandering around in a perpetual state of bliss and gazing at everything in astonishment. The world looked absolutely exquisite!! Four months after my surgery, my brain has now adjusted to the point that my drastically improved vision seems “normal” to me and not quite as shocking…although every time I think back to what my life was like only last year, I am overwhelmed again at what a miracle I have experienced. I will never forget how utterly overjoyed I was in those early weeks. To have a sense restored and be able to fully experience this beautiful world is a profound gift.
I laterally had to stop the video more than three times because of crying. Thank you, God, for all the privileges that you gave us, and praying to you to cure every single sick person from any sickness they might have.
it's okay to cry.
Okay I was crying watching this. Then wondered what it would be like if a man heard his wife speak for the first time and she sounded like the Nanny.
Imagine how disorienting it must be to hear voices inside your head for the first time. I am amazed at how calmly so many of these people are able to handle it!
What a wonderful world we live in as such challenges are being overcome. You must be so fortunate to work in such a clinic; rarely in life do our efforts show such immediate love for humanity.
I bet it would be a pretty crazy experience especially for adults that hadn't heard anything for a number of years.
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.
A Blessing that we who have always been able to hear take for granted each day of our lives.
This is simply heartbreaking. I love this. Every single experience when they hear for the first time is just wonderful. I am thankful and blessed of being able to hear, to see, to move. Thanks God
My friend and co-worker, Dr. Ronald Weiss, of US Army Research Laboratory, was once contacted in the 1990's by a Japanese firm in regard to possibly working with them on passing sound thru bone conduction. He arranged for a large number of elementary school deaf children to participate in a large experimental setting. They were assembled in a large auditorium in Baltimore, Maryland, with the bone conduction equipment to each one of them. The children were asked to pay attention to the musicians on stage. The first sounds the children heard in their lives were made by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra who put on a great show. (Dr. Weiss passed away in 2007.)
They only show the novelty of something new...but that's not the whole story.
I think that’s beautiful
Wow i didnt think it would be so emotional for them. I mean in the way that they totally break down. Amazing!!
It's amazing the blessings we take for granted.
oh I cant watch this.. Ill be dehydrated from crying. Imagine having this incredibly rewarding job...Omy god, christopher!
These wonderful videos bring me to tears of JOY as well😂
This video made me happy!!!
A wonderful worthwhile and so positive video, Many Congratulations to all involved and wishing nothing but happiness to the brave patients who let us watch them on their hearing journey 👏👏👏👌😂.
What a beautiful video. Reminding each of how much we take for granted in this life. I cried seeing such blessings God favors us with and ashamed of myself that in the midst of all His bounty I should ever permit myself to have a sad or ungrateful day.
Lou! This whole video is awesome!!!
This is so touching.. We all take so much for granted.
16:12 - "I'm gonna leave for just a minute so you guys can... chat." What he means is... "I'm gonna leave before I start crying along with everyone else." lol
As a person with hearing issues (bad tinnitus and loss due to over-exposure to high levels) I can SO understand these reactions - deafness is SO isolating - good luck to all.
Amazing video. thanks for that.
What a wonderful, inspiring video.
As someone who lost all hearing in one ear and have about 80% of regular hearing in my other ear only to have the deaf ear completely restored by replacing the middle ear "fleshy bits" with a titanium prosthetic, I still can't imagine what it's like to have no hearing at all and then have it "turned on" by the press of a button. Must be wild.
.❤❤❤❤
Love the little kids joy, and their parents too
As a musician I would be so devastated to lose my hearing, so I'm crying tears of joy right along with them.
Wow. I didnt expect this to happen. In 2:06 that little guys universal reaction to instantly find safety of his mom was something very beatufil. Melted my middle-age finnish mans heart and bring tear to my eye. Beatufil.
Can't stop crying.❤🙏
The things that most of us take for granted, others literally accept as a blessing from God.
No, thank science and a metric ton of hard work by humans.
I hope the pure love and joy from this will stay with all of them in the video and us viewers.
Most common reaction. Teares of joy :-) ... Here to 😊
I watch these to cheer myself up and it works every time
This is wonderful to see.
I'm not sure why, but I really, really needed this today...
I had a friend on college who was born blind. Trying to describe my version of "red" was interesting. It's so hard to be deaf or blind and put the world in perspective.
How did you describe your version of "red"? :)
@@PiaRxxxx I told her it felt hot like the sun. I told her remember the sun warmth on your arm, that would be red. I think that's all I could think to describe to her was heat or warmth
@@knightsofneeech I couldn't find any better way to describe it, this is really tough since the quality of seeing and other senses are so different. Thank you for replying :)
The children are adorable, no doubt. It's the older kids and adults that really got me though. I can't imagine how much that overwhelmed them after all those years!
this is so beautiful!!!
Oh….the things we take for granted. This made me cry so much
Tears on my face …..
Смотришь, как люди плачут - так хочется их обнять! Всё так по-честному, без фальши и притворства. Это то, чего нам всем не хватает в повседневной жизни - настоящие эмоции!
Thank you to the person who invented these life changing device. THANK YOU
Beautifull to see how much cochleair implants have improved and became available for many,, It is a lifechanger for all severly impaired people. Altough I do work anymore as a hearing aid specialist, I do reconize the fullfilment that have occured to me and the customers Thanks for the upload!
I came back ... I've been around and seen too much, but this just brings tears to my eyes. Some years ago (decades, actually) I read about a woman with a little boy who was effectively totally deaf. But one day she went in to where she had music playing and her little boy was on his knees, totally rapt with eyes shut, biting their low coffee table. It was decided that he was hearing through his teeth and head-bones. (Sadly, no follow-up that I know of.)
The shock on the babies faces! I love it.
I love these videos, the only thing I don't understand is how they can know what a chipmunk sounds like or a violin.
I wondered the same. I suspect many hearing-impaired people aren't totally deaf much as many legally blind people aren't totally blind. She may know what a violin sounds like, but could never pick up that part when part of an ensemble. It WOULD be a magical moment!
all their other senses are more sharp, that mean they can sense vibrations so they can associate the vibrations with the sounds, each sound have an unique vibration so...
I also wondered the same, and found this great explanation: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2947146/#:~:text=Many%20congenitally%20deaf%20CI%20recipients,input%20(i.e.%20lip%20reading).
My wife is a teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. She’s passed 2&1/2 years ago but she just told me that they’re Mighty, Powerful Spiritual Beings trying to live a human existence so of course they know what violins and chipmunks sound like. 😮
I don’t know what I should expect, but I was surprised the Australian girl spoke with an Aussie accent. I guess if I were a foreigner I might wonder why the Americans sound American as well.
It's snowing in Wisconsin and we're supposed to get up to 15". I am indoors, letting the plows do their thing. It was great coming upon this. I have many happy tears watching this. Blessings to all the doctors and engineers that helped people find their ears. The spoken "I love you" must be one of the greatest sounds.
Technology can give such benefits to us and the environment if used well. This is wonderful! I stupidly induced temporary total deafness in both ears when I went OTT trying to clear them in the shower (I have chronic tinnitus). Couldn't even hear myself.Zilch. Never been so terrified in my life. Take care and be appreciative of your hearing as well as show kindness and understanding to those whose hearing is not so good. Amazing seeing the faces of the kids and adults when theirs was enabled or improved. Brilliant! I'm welling up here.
Wow! To hear your own voice for the first time, I can only imagine the emotions-
god bless all the scientist, all doctors and all the good people
Thats how i want to see the world helping people who its in ned,no wars no killing❤❤❤❤
Hundreds of millions of us take our hearing for granted. This is so touching watching people hear for the very first time. 💕💕💕😭😭😭
The most incredible thing about all this is how they understand everything the first time if they have never heard the speech. Awesome. I always cry when I see the emotions of these adorable people who are listening for the first time...
I actually struggle to grasp this. If they can see the speaker and lip read then it kind of makes sense, but otherwise surely these people (adults) are suddenly experiencing sounds which are completely alien to them so how can they process words and meaning?
@@pcandela2 because they were already processing words and meaning all along - just in a different way to us non deaf people.
We think in language. The sounds will be strange and new to them at first, but they will have spent years lip reading by that point, so internally they will start off being like, 'so that's how that sounds' and just move on.
when someone receives cochlear implants and can hear for the first time, it may seem like they are speaking right away. However, it's important to note that they have usually gone through extensive speech therapy and training beforehand. This helps them develop the skills needed to produce speech sounds. So, while it may appear immediate, there is often a lot of preparation and practice involved.
nothing, absolutely nothing, tears me up faster than these videos. and I don't know why.
This brought me to tears again, after watching a previous vid about someone rescuing a starving dog. I've got to stop doing this.
