29 years old and hearing myself for the 1st time!

I was born deaf and 8 weeks ago I received a hearing implant. This is the video of them turning it on and me hearing myself for the first time :) Edit: For those of you who have asked the implant I received was Esteem offered by Envoy Medical.

I played football with a kid that was "deaf" and it doesnt mean you cant hear at all it just means sounds are not completely clear to you. so it would be the first time she heard what people including herself really sound like.

I don't care what race you are, your religion, ethnicity, I don't care if you're gay, bisexual or anything. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you

In no way can that statement be said without the words Whiny bitch all over it, but hey that's just me. With all that aside, I completely understand why what certain people say bother you, but in you will never accomplish anything by insulting them, and putting their beliefs down as if it were the toothfairy. Regardless, back on the video's matter, it's a miracle and blessing that someone has been given the ability to hear. (What way you take those words is up to the person themselves.)

i dont think religion could do this, thank science. just like the boy that died last week because his religious parents wanted god to heal him :/.

Beautiful..don't let the ignorant negative people who have commented below, bring you down ever! They don't know you or your story. This is simply beautiful.
