@@Nilguiri yes this is SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BUT it's sad that with all the knowledge you think you have that you have never experienced or witnessed a miracle When they are all around us.
@@J_a_s_o_n Do you have any evidence for that? Just because you do not understand something is not a valid reason to attribute it to a supernatural power which almost certainly does not exist. That's just ignorance (in its literal sense) and superstition. You might as well attribute these supposed miracles to the tooth fairy. And no, I have never experienced a miracle and I do not believe that you or anybody else has, either. I need evidence in order to believe something. A "miracle" means something for which you don't have an explanation. In this case, there is an explanation: science, technology, research and medicine based on knowledge built up over centuries. That is not a miracle, at least in the literal sense. Cheers.

@@ksharky888 Have you every heard a person who is deaf from birth speak? They cannot. I think the girl gradually lost her hearing over a period of time.
My sick sense of humor having ass would have put a disgusting look on my face and said.... "Oh it's always the frigging same. People first get a surprised look on their face. Then their mouth goes agape like they just saw a ghost or some stupid crap.

Don't get me started on them using up all of my Kleenex when they sit there sobbing. They are crying me out of house and home."
I am a battle hardened combat vet, Ive been emotionally distant for decades and for the first time in forever the girl who asked what its like to make miracles happened made me tear up, these doctors and staff must have the most satisfying job in the world.
A baby is feeling the electrical imput to the brain initially as something like muscle twitches. It takes time for the brain to assign synapses to this new stimulus and intepret their meaning.
I remembered the first time I had the cochlear implants about 23-24 years ago (am not joking, I was the first few people to have it in the UK back in 1995/96), at the test for the first time switch on, I yank the cochlear outta me cuz it was suddenly too loud for me but afterward, I got used to it and it changes my life, I hear so many things that I never hear of before during my first 10 years since I was born used a hearing aid. Cochlear implant is a life-changing, take pride in wearing cochlear, my follow deaf people, take pride.
My mum had her cochlear surgery this morning. I’m really excited for her to get the device. This makes me even more excited. My mum is going to hear. 😆
I just applied for a job with the company that makes these implants today. I've never wanted a job so much! It would be so amazing to make miracles happen everyday for a living!!
My mother is deaf, but finally received an experimental cochlear implant back in the early 1980’s. Suddenly she could hear for the first time since an 8 yr old. When I heard she had finally gotten it, I cried. I was so happy for her! Silence and isolation were just the few challenges she dealt with.
It's crazy, to me, how someone who can't hear their own voice, let alone anothers, still speak with the dialect that those around them have. I never guessed that would be the case. I'm happy for them all.
Your comment is nearly a year old but I'll reply anyway. The ones who can speak normally couldn't have been born totally deaf. They learned how to talk and then went deaf. I've seen some where the doctor will ask how voices sound and they'll say things like they sound like robots which they couldn't have known if they were born deaf.
For that young lady to suddenly gain a primary sense and the first thing she does is ask what it's like for her doctor to do this; the quality of character that implies is as moving as the medical marvel. Instantly takes HER big moment and gives it away. That's a young lady being raised by extraordinary people.
They all must have had some hearing in the past or partial hearing except the last woman who couldn’t identify the sound of her own voice as a voice speaking English, it was all pings and weirdness to her.
@@M_SC that's what I don't get. How do they understand what somebody is saying and meaning if they've never heard before. It's amazing and emotional all at the same time

I pray everyday to God that I will meet someone that can sponsor me for a Cochlear inplants as I cannot afford the costs and I have no help from anywhere.

8:08 wow imagine hearing yourself for the first time ever. You get to actually hear your thoughts! She asked, “So if I’m talking, there’s like a…” and then she made a high pitched noise that resembled some kind of horn. She was completely unaware of what “talking” sounds like, completely unaware that what she was hearing was the actual physical voice of her own thoughts! 🤯
I like that they show how it isn't just switched on and magically working immediately, but there's a whole calibration process. I didn't know that before, but it makes sense :)
Also, you don't want to overwhelm the patient with sound right away. You have to start with the volume all the way off and bring it up gradually until they get used to it.
I'm a nurse and I really love my job, but these people are making me very jealous lol. God bless all of us, and please be safe in these Coronavirus madness...
Is this for partially deaf people or people that has been deaf their whole life? I cannot imagine a greater gift than being able to hear if you have never experienced it. Must feel like magic or something!
when the school in my town closed they sent me to a school where there was a lot of blind and hearing impaired kids went. this video moved me, it brought tears to my eyes. thank you for helping these people!!!!
My mother lost her hearing at 20 but her mother and two brothers speak like deaf people often do, very accentuated . If some of these people were truly deaf affecting their speech and vernacular , that would be amazing. Many of these people are hearing impaired and are hearing clearer for the first time
watching these people i just realized that i have something so wounderful that i never appreciated so much sorry mother nature for not realizing what gift you have given to me i am so un-thankful
My hearing is good, but for the last week, I've been suffering an ear infection, my hearing is really woolly right now....I really miss my hearing, so I can only begin to imagine how these guys and gals feel. Nice to see the smiles/tears of joy.
I've known several deaf people and none of them talked like that. They always signed even after they had this implant and had to go to speech therapy. So yea I don't get it
@@shanehinds1940 think of hearing like a spectrum. some people can hear a little some can hear fine some are deaf in one ear some people can be born hearing and lose it later in life or be born without it. not every deaf person has a deaf accent an example would be a good friend of mine who went deaf recently, hes in his twenty's and can talk just fine, but that doesnt change the fact that hes deaf. hope that helps ^^
@@invisibleinc.851 Right so basically the hearing for the 1st time part is inaccurate. That was my point. Because if you were "Deaf" Completely unable to Hear or have never heard before you would not be able to speak...that is a FACT! Your friend went deaf recently, meaning they've hear before so if your friend were to get an implant it wouldnt be the 1st time they ever could hear, and they also would be able to speak because they werent born deaf. IF someone is born deaf and has never heard before they would not be able to speak like a non deaf person.
OHHHHHHHHH MY you made me cry. It reminds me of the videos with the color blind people putting the glass on that lets them see color. It's so emotional for them. To be given this privilege to regain vision or hearing or any other kind of natural function in life that all of us take for granted is such a blessing. God bless you all.
Credit has to be given to the people who devote their lives to transforming peoples lives like this. Amazing work, and it’s fantastic seeing the joy of the recipients of this technology.
Check out Dr. David Sinclair on the Joe Rogan show. His team gave mice that were engineered to be blind, 3 of the four Yamanaka factors, and then the mice could see!( Dr. Sinclair and his team do anti aging research.) His thesis for aging is that it is mostly loss of epigenetic information, which apparently the three factors he used resets!
Impressed with how well spoken most of these people are, when getting implants as adults, and seemingly hearing nothing without them? I suppose that means they must have had some hearing earlier in life?
Most of them are just hearing impaired, not totally deaf, or they became deaf after they already learned English. That last girl was totally deaf though.
This is beautiful. We don’t realize we are so lucky to have all our senses and when we see this, we realize we are truly blessed. This made me cry, I got swept in the moment with these people. Thanks for sharing. 😢❤
I loved the last one, not because it was the most emotional, or anything like that, but because you see how persistent we have to be sometimes. Sometimes it's easier, or even given (to us hearing people), but sometimes it takes a while. This video is really awesome, I wish every video could be as great as this one!!!
Just remember - hearing aids and cochlear implants aren’t a cure all - often, especially with children, ASL is still crucial. Consider learning it, even if you don’t have deaf people in your life.
Cochlear Implant is lot better than hearing aids and as for Asl, in deaf schools and you are not allow to speak with voice with Asl. It’s time to bring SEE back to deaf schools.
I have been taking lessons from a gentleman who has an implant. I have no deaf people in my life but want to learn if I ever need it. Had a deaf client years ago...only knew a few words & phrases,but she was so appreciative.
@@jasons1559 gross. Of course you can’t speak one language with the verb early in the sentence at the same time as signing one with different word order and the verb at the end. It’s common sense. SEE isn’t good for anything except signing written English for the purpose of learning written English
The miracle workers are, technically, the electrical engineers that designed those gadget, from time to time it would be nice of people to remember it. But in the middle time you can be eternally grateful to your physician.
That's one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen on youtube. I have tears running down my face. The little baby opened the floodgates. Well done!
I would like to thank the people who made and make this possible , In todays world its so nice to see humans making other humans happy. Bless all of you . I hope the universe sends back to you all you have given to others
It's amazing that we just take so many things for granted and we don't realize how much of a gift it is especially when you don't have it and then when you can get it back and it's like magic! If only it worked that way with your eyesight ☹️.
Can’t imagine the feeling of hearing for the first time in years or ever even… the sensation.. of sound in your head…I watch these videos and I realize how much i take my hearing for granted.
I am hard of hearing and wear hearing aids, but I've never been deaf. None of us can possibly imagine what it's like to hear for the first time. I sometimes binge watch this stuff, and the colorblind people putting on this glasses to see certain colors for the first time. My favorite color is green so I love it when they see the greenery in nature for the first time.
It's kinda sad that there is still sections of the deaf community that views cochlear implants as an attack on their culture. This is amazing that we have the ability to do this. And it's wonderful seeing these people be able to experience this sensation for the first time.
As someone who recently discovered he has ADHD and was finally able to get treated for it, that's beyond wild to me. Obviously we shouldn't look down on people for having an impairment that's beyond their control, but rejecting a technology that would objectively improve your quality of life out of some vague nonsense about "our culture" or "community" or whatever is fucking stupid.
@@zackakai5173 Yea I remember finding this really odd when I first found out it was a thing. I can kind of understand near the beginning of cochlear implants when it was separating children from parents, giving children no incentive or reason to learn sign language, and therefore being unable to communicate with their own parents who only knew sign language. But yea the whole cultural attachment some of them have to a biological defect (meant in a completely objective way) is kind of baffling. They think it's going to kill sign language and maybe... but sign language was created for a purpose, to give the ability to communicate to those who could not otherwise... that is the exact problem cochlear implants solve. And the fact that sign language was created in the first place, shows that communication was indeed the desired product.
There was a situation a while back here where a deaf couple wanted IVF, but they wanted the embryo tested for a deaf gene? And wanted that one implanted. I think medical ethic groups and the government had to step in on that one. Why you'd WANT your kid to have to go through life having one fewer senses I have no idea.
@@j9lorna This is actually WAY more common than people think. And it actually extends outside the deaf community too. Parents often want their child to be like them. There's a host of reasons that could probably host an entire separate conversation (I actually wrote a big paper on this years back in college)... But yea it's pretty scary. Deaf parents are specifically aiming for deaf children. Blind parents aiming for blind children. There's some early testing being done on being able to screen embryos for risk of low IQ. And so naturally some people are rejecting children with a risk of higher IQ than themselves... The list goes on... The ability to view genotype and phenotype features from an embryo is truly incredible and provides so many opportunities to create more fulfilling lives with much lower risk of life threatening or altering ailments being present. And yet there will always be trolls who ruin it for everyone else. Just remember that the biggest roadblock to positive progression in society is often society itself.
@@zackakai5173 getting informed about an issue by a Superficial UA-cam comment is a lot more vague nonsense than the real reasons one might not want this done. Why are you so easily convinced you know other people are wrong when you literally know nothing
I watch videos like this and it always makes me appreciate the little things that we always take for granted every day. Things like hearing, seeing, smelling etc etc.. It's definitely amazing to see the joy on these people's faces. Thanks for sharing all that you do and for your time and effort in making these videos. 🙏🏻
I have so much respect for the non-hearing I don't know how I could ever do it without hearing but seeing these people struggle their whole life never get to hear the beautiful words come out of people's mouth with birds chirping in the morning it makes me very happy to see that we have come so far with technology that we can make dreams really come true
I had implants when I was 17. For the first time, I heard my Mom and Dad tell me they love me. Absolutely life-changing.

To God be the glory. ❤️
@@clarkodell1042 God made them deaf.....
That has to be one of the most rewarding jobs on the planet.
My hearing is good, but for the last week, I've been suffering an ear infection, my hearing is really woolly right now....I really miss my hearing, so I can only begin to imagine how these guys and gals feel. Nice to see the smiles/tears of joy.
2:10 What an empathetic person this young lady is!
I’m amazed by how well these deaf people can talk without ever hearing.
I've known several deaf people and none of them talked like that. They always signed even after they had this implant and had to go to speech therapy. So yea I don't get it
@@shanehinds1940 think of hearing like a spectrum. some people can hear a little some can hear fine some are deaf in one ear some people can be born hearing and lose it later in life or be born without it. not every deaf person has a deaf accent an example would be a good friend of mine who went deaf recently, hes in his twenty's and can talk just fine, but that doesnt change the fact that hes deaf. hope that helps ^^
@@invisibleinc.851 Right so basically the hearing for the 1st time part is inaccurate. That was my point. Because if you were "Deaf" Completely unable to Hear or have never heard before you would not be able to speak...that is a FACT! Your friend went deaf recently, meaning they've hear before so if your friend were to get an implant it wouldnt be the 1st time they ever could hear, and they also would be able to speak because they werent born deaf. IF someone is born deaf and has never heard before they would not be able to speak like a non deaf person.
@@invisibleinc.851 This was my question and thank you so much for your excellent reply.
As someone who was born deaf and have implants, I love these videos it’s truly a miracle
5:51 What a sweet laugh that beautiful little girl has!
OHHHHHHHHH MY you made me cry.
It reminds me of the videos with the color blind people putting the glass on that lets them see color. It's so emotional for them.
To be given this privilege to regain vision or hearing or any other kind of natural function in life that all of us take for granted is such a blessing. God bless you all.
When the 2nd gal said, I could never thank you enough, she did just that!!! These are so special
I love what technology can offer humanity. This is beautiful.
Watching the lady at the end realize that she's hearing herself 😭😭😭
Credit has to be given to the people who devote their lives to transforming peoples lives like this. Amazing work, and it’s fantastic seeing the joy of the recipients of this technology.
Aamzing how people who've never heard before can speak and pronounce so well and even have a dialect down too.
@5:15 when she barely gets out "I can hear!" through her tears, I was done :')
why am i watching these videos, they make me cry every time
What a fulfilling job that must be, making miracles happen. That is amazing.
I just don't cry much at all. This had me tearing up. God bless all involved. So amazing.
This should make one understand how lucky we are to have all or senses, and be compassionate and understanding of those who don’t.
Beautiful. Can’t wait for this Type of technology to happen for blind people, hopefully they are next
yeah my gfs son needs a healing with his eyes
You've seen the ones where colorblind people get the glasses, right?
It's coming, we'll eventually figure it out.
I don't want to see in a world without Augustus Waters
Check out Dr. David Sinclair on the Joe Rogan show. His team gave mice that were engineered to be blind, 3 of the four Yamanaka factors, and then the mice could see!( Dr. Sinclair and his team do anti aging research.) His thesis for aging is that it is mostly loss of epigenetic information, which apparently the three factors he used resets!
Impressed with how well spoken most of these people are, when getting implants as adults, and seemingly hearing nothing without them? I suppose that means they must have had some hearing earlier in life?
I was thinking the same thing.
Most of them are just hearing impaired, not totally deaf, or they became deaf after they already learned English. That last girl was totally deaf though.
"Im Killin this.." .. i like her!
This is beautiful. We don’t realize we are so lucky to have all our senses and when we see this, we realize we are truly blessed. This made me cry, I got swept in the moment with these people. Thanks for sharing. 😢❤
I loved the last one, not because it was the most emotional, or anything like that, but because you see how persistent we have to be sometimes. Sometimes it's easier, or even given (to us hearing people), but sometimes it takes a while.
This video is really awesome, I wish every video could be as great as this one!!!
Just remember - hearing aids and cochlear implants aren’t a cure all - often, especially with children, ASL is still crucial. Consider learning it, even if you don’t have deaf people in your life.
Cochlear Implant is lot better than hearing aids and as for Asl, in deaf schools and you are not allow to speak with voice with Asl. It’s time to bring SEE back to deaf schools.
I have been taking lessons from a gentleman who has an implant. I have no deaf people in my life but want to learn if I ever need it. Had a deaf client years ago...only knew a few words & phrases,but she was so appreciative.
@@jasons1559 gross. Of course you can’t speak one language with the verb early in the sentence at the same time as signing one with different word order and the verb at the end. It’s common sense. SEE isn’t good for anything except signing written English for the purpose of learning written English
@@M_SC I speak with SEE, it’s no problem. It’s my first one and Asl is my second one, I’m glad I learn it first before asl.
I'm so happy to see you can hear your loved one voices and love for you
One after another I was balling my eyes out. I am so happy for all of them,and god bless the doctors who make this happen for them.
Jeezzzz, I must want to cry. I can’t stop watching. This has to be the most wholesome, honest pure content I’ve ever seen.
The miracle workers are, technically, the electrical engineers that designed those gadget, from time to time it would be nice of people to remember it. But in the middle time you can be eternally grateful to your physician.
Howard Wolowitz likes this comment ^ (I liked it too, am not an Engo)
speaking sense at last
You are technically correct. The best kind of correct
That's one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen on youtube. I have tears running down my face. The little baby opened the floodgates. Well done!
That girl at 5:08 made me tear up 😭. Realizing she was deaf all her life and now be able to hear.
I would like to thank the people who made and make this possible , In todays world its so nice to see humans making other humans happy. Bless all of you . I hope the universe sends back to you all you have given to others
i cant imagine life without music. I wanna see these peoples reaction to music!!
It gives me so much joy to see them hearing for the first time! Something most of us take for granted every day! Sooooo happy for them!
I lost my hearing 100% in my left ear when I was 41. That is bad and disordering enough but I can't imagine not being able to hear at all.
Yep, I'm also single-sided deaf, but mine is the right. Even with a hearing aid, it's a bitch.
@@jimbolen6364 Even a hearing aid will not help me. No nerve to my inner ear at all.
Hearing is one of god gift and yet we barely appreciate and thank god for it .. Alhamdulillah❤️
It's amazing that we just take so many things for granted and we don't realize how much of a gift it is especially when you don't have it and then when you can get it back and it's like magic! If only it worked that way with your eyesight ☹️.
Doesn't it make you appreciate the things we take so much for granted! Thank you so much for the help you give
Can’t imagine the feeling of hearing for the first time in years or ever even… the sensation.. of sound in your head…I watch these videos and I realize how much i take my hearing for granted.
What we take for granted. This has humbled me. Thank you for sharing.
I am hard of hearing and wear hearing aids, but I've never been deaf. None of us can possibly imagine what it's like to hear for the first time. I sometimes binge watch this stuff, and the colorblind people putting on this glasses to see certain colors for the first time. My favorite color is green so I love it when they see the greenery in nature for the first time.
The girl in the green shirt got me! I'm really happy for these people!!
It's kinda sad that there is still sections of the deaf community that views cochlear implants as an attack on their culture. This is amazing that we have the ability to do this. And it's wonderful seeing these people be able to experience this sensation for the first time.
As someone who recently discovered he has ADHD and was finally able to get treated for it, that's beyond wild to me. Obviously we shouldn't look down on people for having an impairment that's beyond their control, but rejecting a technology that would objectively improve your quality of life out of some vague nonsense about "our culture" or "community" or whatever is fucking stupid.
@@zackakai5173 Yea I remember finding this really odd when I first found out it was a thing. I can kind of understand near the beginning of cochlear implants when it was separating children from parents, giving children no incentive or reason to learn sign language, and therefore being unable to communicate with their own parents who only knew sign language. But yea the whole cultural attachment some of them have to a biological defect (meant in a completely objective way) is kind of baffling. They think it's going to kill sign language and maybe... but sign language was created for a purpose, to give the ability to communicate to those who could not otherwise... that is the exact problem cochlear implants solve. And the fact that sign language was created in the first place, shows that communication was indeed the desired product.
There was a situation a while back here where a deaf couple wanted IVF, but they wanted the embryo tested for a deaf gene? And wanted that one implanted. I think medical ethic groups and the government had to step in on that one.
Why you'd WANT your kid to have to go through life having one fewer senses I have no idea.
@@j9lorna This is actually WAY more common than people think. And it actually extends outside the deaf community too. Parents often want their child to be like them. There's a host of reasons that could probably host an entire separate conversation (I actually wrote a big paper on this years back in college)... But yea it's pretty scary. Deaf parents are specifically aiming for deaf children. Blind parents aiming for blind children. There's some early testing being done on being able to screen embryos for risk of low IQ. And so naturally some people are rejecting children with a risk of higher IQ than themselves... The list goes on... The ability to view genotype and phenotype features from an embryo is truly incredible and provides so many opportunities to create more fulfilling lives with much lower risk of life threatening or altering ailments being present. And yet there will always be trolls who ruin it for everyone else. Just remember that the biggest roadblock to positive progression in society is often society itself.
@@zackakai5173 getting informed about an issue by a Superficial UA-cam comment is a lot more vague nonsense than the real reasons one might not want this done. Why are you so easily convinced you know other people are wrong when you literally know nothing
I watch videos like this and it always makes me appreciate the little things that we always take for granted every day. Things like hearing, seeing, smelling etc etc.. It's definitely amazing to see the joy on these people's faces. Thanks for sharing all that you do and for your time and effort in making these videos. 🙏🏻
I have so much respect for the non-hearing I don't know how I could ever do it without hearing but seeing these people struggle their whole life never get to hear the beautiful words come out of people's mouth with birds chirping in the morning it makes me very happy to see that we have come so far with technology that we can make dreams really come true
Watching these videos truly brings me happiness in this greedy world we live in, priceless.
They say that BIG THING COME IN SMALL PACKAGES. And this small little reactions are PRICELESS. Make you wonder what is REALLY IMPORTANT in this LIFE.
I almost cried, it reminded me of my grandson, I'm still waiting for the day my grandson will be able to hear without his hearing aid.
The lady at the end made me smile and it was so cute her reaction!
