Baby Hears Mom For The First Time After Receiving Hearing Aids, And Her Reaction Will Melt Your Heart

Charly, a beautiful daughter of Christy Keane, was born in August 2017. Sadly, the girl came into this world profoundly deaf. Determined parents have been restfully working on a solution since then and they were finally able to get little baby Charlotte hearing aids. And the moment she hears her mother saying “Hi” for the first time, her face lights up with happiness!

Her mother Christy made sure this magical moment stays in their lives forever by recording it. Although Charly is still an infant, you can see how fast she gets really emotional and tries to hold back tears of joy in her eyes. The moment Christy says “I love you”, you can see Charly tearing up again.

“We had our miracle moment that I have been praying for when Char got her hearing aids today. We didn’t think she would hear anything so this was more incredible than I can put in to words. Her journey to implants and language development is off to an amazing start,” Christy Keane wrote on her Instagram.

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    That moment is very sweet and I appreciate that the parents gave their baby a temporary hearing device, rather than something more permanent, so that when she gets older she can make the decision for herself. However, the article is very negative, saying that "Sadly, the girl came into this world profoundly deaf." What is sad about that? The deaf community is amazing and should be embraced, it's nothing to be embarrassed or saddened by to have a deaf child.

    It is sad that a human being is born into this world without the ability to fully experience it. This is one of those defining moments that a person should show some empathy and compassion towards others. The look in that babies face knows that she was missing something from this world. That baby knew something wasn't working right.

    She doesn't know whether to smile or cry! I've never seen such complex emotions on an infant's face - she's a smart one for sure!
