A heartwarming video capturing a baby’s joyful reaction to hearing his mother’s voice for the first time with a hearing aid is winning hearts nationwide.
The touching moment of 10-month-old Arlo Clark was captured by his mother Sara Clark. Sara greets Arlo, who responds with a wide smile and a delightful giggle upon hearing her voice. When she greets him again, his surprised expression adds to the charm of the interaction.
“Hi!” Sara said to Arlo, after he hears his mom’s voice, Arlo looks up and cracks a huge smile and adorable giggle.
“Hello!” Sara repeated with Arlo giving her a shocked expression on his face.
Arlo is partially deaf in both ears, and was recently fitted with a hearing aid. “The moment I saw that he could hear my voice I had tears in my eyes,” Sara said. “I wasn’t expecting him to be able to hear me at all. I couldn’t believe that at last he could hear me.”
The mother of-two from Worcestershire, England, said that at first her baby looked shocked but as she started talking to him he began giggling and smiling. She said that she and her husband haven’t been able to sing to Arlo or share those “special” newborn moments. But “Now that he can hear we feel like we finally have him properly in our lives,” Sara shared.
