It was an incredible moment for this newborn’s family, as this deaf baby heard the sound of her mother's voice for the first time last Friday. /Instagram @theblushingbluebird Photo

Baby Charly was born profoundly deaf in August, meaning she is unable to hear any sound below 95 decibels in her better ear. Charly’s parents have been working on a solution since then and were finally able to get hearing aids for little Charly. /Instagram @theblushingbluebird Photo

When she heard her mother, Christy Keane, saying “Hi” for the first time, Charly’s face lit up with a beautiful smile. Christy said in an Instagram post that she had never seen that kind of expression on her daughter’s face before. /Instagram @theblushingbluebird Photo

Although this happened in the US, an estimated 30,000 babies in China are born with a hearing impairment each year. /Instagram @theblushingbluebird Photo
