Deaf Mum Hears Son's Voice For The First Time

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Deaf mum hearing her family speak for the first time goes viral on social media, will bring you tears of joy.



MANCHESTER, UK -- The Channel 4 documentary has single handedly restored our faith in humanity, after the TV show introduced us to single mum Rebecca, her sister Amy and her three-year-old son.



9 years ago Rebecca had an unexplained loos of hearing in her right ear. Then, as if that wasn't enough, 16 weeks ago she tragically went deaf in her left ear too.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

"I've had to learn new ways of trying to communicate with him" explains a defiant Rebecca, as she bravely battles her condition, to give her son the best possible life.



However, with the help of audiologist Hugh Cooper, everything is about to change for the better.



When the mother of one visited Manchester Royal Infirmary with her sister Amy as part of Breaking the Silence Live, we see her hear again for the first time since she lost her hearing, thanks to the help of a cochlear implant.



The show has clearly struck a cord with viewers who have taken to Twitter to discuss the importance of communicating with Deaf people so that they don't feel alienated.



People take being able to hear for granted, have the upmost respect for my deaf family and all they've achieved #breakingthesilence.

Deaf Baby Hears Mother's Voice For First Time

VIDEO - Deaf News: Deaf Idaho baby hears her mother's voice for the first time goes viral on social media.



BOISE, ID -- Daily Mail: This is the heart-warming moment a Deaf baby heard her mother's voice for the very first time.



Born profoundly Deaf, Annabelle Lawrence received two hearing aids on Wednesday and when they were turned on she couldn't hide her excitement.

When her mother Sarah Jo asked her if she could hear, the three-month-old broke into a massive gummy smile



Sarah Jo, from Boise, Idaho then asked again and Annabelle's eyes opened wide as she realized she was listening to her mother speak.



Sarah Jo said: 'Everything has been so overwhelming. 'To be able to tell Annabelle that I love her and know she hears me is very emotional. 'You could see how excited she was to be able to hear. I can't stop talking to her.



'Whenever I'm doing the dishes or putting a wash on I give her a running commentary. 'I want her to be able to catch up on the last three months.'



The video also shows the audiologist from Idaho Elks Hearing and Balance Center, Boise, continuing with tests to determine to what level Annabelle's hearing is working. When she heard clapping, she started to look a little perplexed and turned her head a full 90 degrees searching for the origins.



Annabelle's hearing aids are temporary as she will have cochlear implants put in when she is nine months old. Her current hearing aids enable her to hear sufficiently as the auditory nerve in her brain is functioning perfectly.



Sarah Jo added: 'At the moment she is really tired.



'I think hearing for the first time means her brain is working extra hard to understand what is happening. 'She is napping much longer than she did before to recuperate. 'But when she's awake she is so much more excited.'

In those patients, the implants often can enable sufficient hearing for better understanding of speech. The quality of sound is different from natural hearing, with less sound information being received and processed by the brain.

Brainstem Implants Help Deaf Children Hear

VIDEO: Deaf children who can't use the older technology of cochlear implants might be helped with a brainstem implant.



LOS ANGELES - At age 3, Angelica Lopez is helping to break a sound barrier for Deaf children.



Born without working auditory nerves, she can detect sounds for the first time and start to mimic them after undergoing brain surgery to implant a device that bypasses missing wiring in her inner ears.



Angelica is one of a small number of U.S. children who are testing what's called an auditory brainstem implant, or ABI. The device goes beyond cochlear implants that have brought hearing to many Deaf children but that don't work for tots who lack their hearing nerve.



When the ABI is first turned on, "she isn't going to be hearing like a 3-year-old. She'll be hearing like a newborn," audiologist Laurie Eisenberg of the University of Southern California tells parents. She outlined the research Friday at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.



The children don't magically understand and use those sounds. "It's going to take a lot of work," Eisenberg cautioned.

Angelica cried when her ABI first was switched on, scared by the sounds. But five months later, her mother says the youngster uses sign language to identify some sounds that was a cough, that's a dog barking. And she's beginning to babble like hearing babies do, as therapists work to teach her oral speech.



"It's just so awesome to hear her little voice," said Julie Lopez of Big Spring, Texas, who enrolled her daughter in the study at USC, where researchers say she's progressing well.



Many children born Deaf benefit from cochlear implants, electrodes that send impulses to the auditory nerve, where they're relayed to the brain and recognized as sound. But the small fraction born without a working hearing nerve can't make that brain connection.



The ABI attempts to fill that gap by delivering electrical stimulation directly to the neurons on the brainstem the nerve normally would have targeted. Here's how it works: The person wears a microphone on the ear to detect sound, and a processer changes it to electrical signals. Those are beamed to a stimulator under the skin, which sends the signals snaking through a wire to electrodes surgically placed on the brainstem...

VIDEO: Heartwarming moment Deaf girl hears mom's voice for the first time. Moment Deaf girl, 5, who was abandoned in Chinese town square hears for the first time after she was adopted by American couple.



Dailymail.co.uk - A Tulsa family is celebrating after the Deaf little girl they adopted from China was able to hear for the first time - a moment they described as 'breathtaking'. Gifted a cochlear implant, Jayde Scholl now squeals and laughs with delight as she listens to the sound of her adoptive mother Jaque Scholl's voice.



On Tuesday the implant was switched on, marking the end of a two adoption process for Jayde after she spent the first four-years of her life in a Chinese orphanage after being abandoned in a town square at the age of eight-months.

Luckily for Jayde, the Scholl's were looking to adopt and saw her on trip to China two-years-ago, but international adoptions take longer than domestic ones.



Once the paper-work was complete, the Scholl's brought Jayde to the United States just before Christmas.



However, Jaque, who is a doctor of audiology at her own School Center for the Deaf in Oklahoma, noticed something was wrong with her new daughter on the plane home.



She realized that Jayde wasn't paying attention or watching the in-flight video, even when the volume on the headphones was switched up to full. ...READ MORE: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2289388/Moment-deaf-girl-5-abandoned-Chinese-town-square-hears-time-adopted-American-couple.html
