VIDEO: Moment seven-week-old baby hears for first time

The emotional moment a baby with hearing problems hears for the first time has been captured on video and shared online.

Seven-week-old Lachlan was diagnosed with moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears when he was born.

In this clip he’s given hearing aids and his reaction to the sounds around him is adorable.

The video was uploaded to YouTube on 31 August where it has received over a million views.

It’s been an emotional week in viral videos as the moment an Alzheimer’s patient remembered her daughter was captured earlier this week.
