Good NewsWoman hears own voice for first time after 29 years
For many of us, hearing our own voice is something so commonplace, we don't even give it a second thought. But for someone like Sloan Churman who was born deaf, there couldn't be a sweeter sound.
Churman received a new hearing implant after a lifetime of wearing hearing aids, so at age 29, she heard her own voice for the very first time. She posted this video online of how she reacted the moment it was turned on:
It's hard not to tear up when you see Churman react to the sound of her own laughter and crying, especially when you can tell her husband, who is recording the video, is choked up as well. According to TIME NewsFeed, she had hoped her husband would have said more, but he was so overwhelmed by emotion that he was caught between "crying and wanting to bounce around the room."
