This is the adorable moment a profoundly deaf nine-month-old boy hears his mum and dad for the first time after surgery.<br /><br />Everett Colley was born unable to hear, and had to learn sign language to communicate with his parents Ashley and Zachary, 29 and 30.<br /><br />The tot underwent cochlear implant surgery with Cochlear Americas, and two weeks later had the exterior part fitted which allowed him to hear.<br /><br />When he first heard his parents speak on Monday (20/12), he beamed and nuzzled his face into his mum's chest.<br /><br />Ashley, from Yorktown, Virginia, USA said: "I think it's mainly my husbands voice that he seems to hear more than mine, but for him to hear that and go to me for comfort it's beautiful.<br /><br />"I'm sure most people's reactions when they first find out that their baby is deaf are like ours, it’s a horrible thing. <br /><br />"But it's not, it's really beautiful, he has a whole outlook of life that we don’t."<br /><br />The video was filmed on December 20 2021 at 10am.
