This is the emotional moment a teen with irreversible hearing loss that she shares with her mom has her cochlear implants activated for the very first time. Katelynn Bronson, from Provo, Utah, shares a hereditary hearing loss, passed down through her mom, Jennifer. Jennifer, 38, started losing her hearing in her 20s, and after Katelynn, now 14, was born her family were worried she would start losing her hearing, too. Having passed her hearing test at birth, Katelynn began to show signs of the same condition as her mom after her first birthday, and she received her hearing aids when she turned four. Katelynn learned to read lips, but in school it was clear her hearing was getting worse, Jennifer said, so her family started looking into cochlear implants.

Imagine being able to discover your favorite music for the first time. Dogs barking, snoring, all the little sounds we take for granted. I'm so happy for this young lady❤

My cousin got cochlear implants when he was 25. He was stunned when he heard his wife's voice and his son's voice. What made him cry was when he heard his own voice for the first time. I love him. 💜

One of those blessed miraculous beauties that even blossoms through tears...what an amazing woman.

The realization in her eyes. The smallest change but noticeable. I was a musician for 13 years and now face hearing loss, I couldn’t imagine what life would be like without any sound at all.

[tiffinyanderson]

I could tell she was trying not to cry. She’s a sweetheart. Glad they were happy tears.

🎉🎉Congratulations 🎉🎉
It's a loud world out there.
I received mine after 40 years of being deaf, I cried so hard when I got home. I felt I had missed out on so much in life.
We live in our own little world when we can't hear.
I called it being in
"Amber Land".
I'm so proud of you!!!!❤
