This Baby Was Born Deaf And His Reaction To Hearing Mom For The First Time Is Priceless

Before a baby is even born it’s believed they can hear mom and dad’s voice inside the womb. But what happens where they can’t hear? Due to accidents, sickness, and genetics, some children are born without the ability to hear the voices of their parents.

Taryn and Drew Ruiz gave birth to a beautiful little baby boy three months ago. While he looked completely normal when he was born, the couple soon realized that their little boy wasn’t reacting to noises they made and it led them to seek medical advice.

They were soon told that baby Archer was born with permanent moderate-to-severe bilateral hearing loss.

In the past, he would have lived in a life of silence. However, modern technology has given him the ability to hear.

The Ruiz’s had to wait two long months for the earpieces to be completed, but once ready, the transformation was immediate. Little archer went from a crying baby to a newborn who was finally experience the wonder of sound.

Watch the video below to see how quickly this little babies world changes because of his new hearing aids.

There have been quite a few of these stories about people discovering sound for the first time later in life but this is the earliest case we have stumbled upon.

It’s easy to take our hearing for granted but at the end of the day this baby’s pure joy with experiencing sound for the first time really shines some light on how much the ability to hear a mother’s voice for the first time can change a child’s life.
