An 18-month-old baby, who had been living in the world of silence, finally heard his mother’s voice for the first time and his reaction has left netizens emotional. A video capturing the precious moment was shared on Twitter by user Finessa Hudgins with a caption that read ‘My baby got his hearing aids today’. The 42-second clip has surely left Internet users smiling and with happy tears as they flooded the comment section with all sorts of heartwarming reactions.
According to CNN, the little baby, Maison, was born four months premature after his parents were a victim of a home invasion. His mother Lauryn Webb was shot four times and two days later Maison was born during an emergency delivery. The 18-month-old baby was only one pound when he was born and the doctors warned his parents that he could be blind and not walk.
In an interview with US daily, Webb said that she couldn’t stop herself from crying as for the first time Maison heard her say his name. She added that his face lit up after which she just couldn’t keep it together. ‘I was definitely happier than he was,’ Webb added.
In the clip, one can see the toddler sitting on a person’s lap and Webb could be heard calling out his name. “Mason, Hi. Can you hear me?” said Webb, while the baby looked at her confused at first, but soon could be seen responding to the voice with a smile. Check out the clip below:
