After not being able to hear since he was a baby, this deaf man hears for the first time in 30 years. His family was there to witness everything, and it was such a priceless moment you do not want to miss.
When Joey Augusta was just 14 months old, he got diagnosed with spinal meningitis. His condition affected his ability to hear. It left him with only 50% hearing in his right ear. He went through his entire life without being able to hear clearly.

His hearing is exceptional for the implant to have been activated for only a half an hour. Even the Audiologist is impressed! She did another hearing test to see if Joey can repeat all of the colors that she says. She had Joey repeat all of the colors after her and he got them all right. Joey began to cry again, overwhelmed by the joy of what this meant for him and his family. He could not believe that he could finally hear! This moment is so beautiful.
