Touching Video of a Seven-Week-Old Baby Boy Hearing for the First Time With Hearing Aids

Lachlan Lever was born with severe hearing loss in both ears, but at seven weeks old was given his first hearing aids. Lachlan’s father, Toby Lever, uploaded a touching video that shows the moments when Lachlan could first hear and his reaction to the sound of his parents’ voices.

Our beautiful son Lachlan was diagnosed as having moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears. When he was 7 weeks old he received his first hearing aids. His reaction when they were turned on was truly amazing. We cried from happiness. Our beautiful little boy is now two years old and doing remarkably well.
