Watching Him Hear!

Yesterday, Solomon, my youngest son received hearing aids. He is almost a year old. It was so exciting to see him look around with sensory curiosity and overload of all these new sounds. He looked around the room constantly looking for the first confirmation of who/what was making the new sound he was hearing. Then, last night I was holding him and playing for him some cinematic movie scores and other songs for him to hear. It was fun to watch him pause his squirmy ways to take in a fuller sound than he’s heard to date.

How often do you get to watch people hear? I wouldn’t have traded that moment for anything else. It was a lot of fun and Sarah and I both are so happy with and for him. In those few moments I wasn’t hearing with my ear, I was watching him hear in new ways. Thanks for hearing aids and technologies that help our bodies.
