One amazing thing about babies and young children is their automatic instinct to share their natural, unfiltered reactions to the sights and sounds around them – which is why videos of those first sights and sounds always go viral.

 

The latest star of social media is Annabelle Lawless, a three-month-old tot who only recently heard sound for the first time in her life.

 

Parents Sarah Jo and Tyler became concerned when they noticed their baby daughter wasn’t reacting to noise around her.

 

 

They were totally ‘devastated’, however, when they brought her to get her ears tested and she was diagnosed with profound hearing loss.

 

Little Annabelle got hearing aids fitted two months later, and the adoring parents recorded the emotional moment when she finally heard her first sound.

 

It’s not hard to see why mum Sarah Jo was left in floods of tears: Annabelle’s face is the very portrait of amazed astonishment.

 

 

Annabelle has reportedly made great progress with her hearing aids, and she is due to have cochlear implants fitted in the near future.

 

SHARE to remind a fellow parent that there is always hope.
