A baby had the sweetest reaction to hearing her parents for the very first time.
Anyone who has ever parented young children knows that babies cry. Since they do not yet have the ability to speak, they must communicate their needs in some way. So, crying is their method of communication. Babies wail when they are hungry, tired and in need of being changed.
One video posted to TikTok showed a crying and upset child. Reclining in a car seat, in a doctor’s office, the child loudly voices her displeasure. She does not like or appreciate the current situation. However, the baby girl’s mood quickly and dramatically changes in a matter of seconds.
The child cries and whines as someone in the video places hearing aids on the infant’s tiny ears. The woman fitting the child with the hearing devices explains how she’ll be able to change and augment the programming due to the child’s rapid growth.
After the woman puts the devices on the child’s ears and “clicks them closed,” her father begins talking to her. She immediately lights up! She flashes him a huge smile.
It’s clear from the look on the infant’s face that she’s still a little uncertain as to what she is hearing. But then her mother also begins speaking and another huge smile appears on the child’s face.
She begins kicking and moving her feet with joy. The child is hearing her mother and father for the first time!
What a sweet, moving and touching short clip of a child who is taking in the sound of her parents' voices and absolutely loves it. It’s a moment that will likely bring a tear or two or maybe even more to your eyes!
