This 8-month-old baby went deaf after contracting the meningitis virus when I was 4 months old. His parents were given the option of having a cochlear implant and he would be able to hear normally again.
The cochlear implant is a high-tech device that consists of transforming acoustic signals into electrical impulses that go directly to the brain. Sounds like science fiction right? Well, I have already seen several videos like those of this baby but in adults. The emotion felt by an adult who has never heard any sound is even greater. I could not find the video of a girl who, upon hearing the doctor's voice, began to cry uncontrollably from the emotion that entered her.
Behold that magical moment when doctors activate the cochlear implant and the baby hears a sound for the first time, his mother's voice.
