15-year old Jurie du Plessis hears for the first time

What a horrible language and first voice to have to hear..

FANTASTIC AND UNPARALLELED EXCELLENCE! Whilst the retards of society scream about their pronouns....

Poor guy. First thing he hears is that horrible tongue

I hope he is doing well 🤲🏻

Looked him up at Facebook. He seems to be doing very well. With a girlfriend who is pregnant.

A whole new world has opened-up to him, thanks to some very kind and good people. God bless them all!

Was that Dutch being spoken?

Beautiful young man

kid looks confused and do not blame him, has to be a major shock hearing for the first time ever.

Love this.

great kid, god bless you

Aww I know him.. His mom is the best ever.. I'm so happy to see he can hear now 🙌❤️

Is the language Dutch?

I'm crying along with Mom, what a gift

Imagine hearing your own name for the first time when you're already an adult.

What language are they speaking and does anyone have an update on how he's doing? What a sweet handsome young man.

Absoluut reg dat sy eerste woorde wat hy hoor in Afrikaans is!

Ah bless him 👍

Play that young man some Grateful Dead and his life will be changed twice in one day.

Alles van die beste! Wees nou geseënd!

Is that Afrikaans?

I wish the audiologist has started by playing beautiful music, the universal language.

I am dutch and can understand almost everything she is saying.

It would be so overwhelming for this young man. Lots of love ❤️

God Bless this touches my heart. In time this young man will get to speak clearly. The family is over joyed. Now he will have so much more in his young life.

His mom is just so sweet. I bet his whole family was so happy for him. I am happy that science has moved so far ahead. I think the colorblind corrective glasses are an amazing invention as well. This is what science is for, to make us better and to invent things that enriches our lives.

AWESOME 👍👍👍👍

Bless his heart. He has been given an opportunity to hear. He has the rest of his life to learn. Would love to know how he's doing now.

I guess it impacts people differently. Ive seen people with absolute awe amazement and delight on their face. And this guy just looks confused. I mean hes hearing words for the first time and trying to match that with signs or lip reading is probably making him think a lot.

I just figured him hearing his own voice would illicit some emotion. To each their own. Everyone processes new experiences differently

Then he realised how stupid his name sounds

What is the language being spoken?

I watch these every time I come across them. Just beautiful. I can’t imagine how wonderful this must feel.

Cue deaf people whining because they are arseholes.

Geweldig he...wat fijn voor hem

God bless you ♥️♥️

Who needs language or sign language! Wait till he hears Beethoven or Bach for the first time, birds singing, a waterfall, thunder and storms, the tinkling of bells, the sound of a Tibetan bowl, the sound of ocean waves lapping the shore, crows cawing, sparrows twittering and chortling, leaves rustling on trees, a baby laughing. What a gift this is! The whole world of sounds will communicate with him and hold communion in his soul.

What a Beautiful Boy💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 yeahieeee xo

What language are they speaking? Afrikaans?

Is this Norwegian?

There is no doubt that that guy is the kid's Father. I bet he looked just like his son at 15, like exactly the same.

Get this boy VanHalen 1 immediately 😂

This video is a little old....but I have watched it several times!! This young man is so handsome!!! I'd love an update??

What a lovely young man. Hearing for the first time must be very confusing. The best of luck to him, and may his life be filled with many beautiful sounds.

I’m guessing this is Afrikaans? Am I right?

Что это за язык?

Every language is foreign at this point. He will always have an impediment, but thank goodness he is young to where he may be able to work on his pronunciation to be more accurate. Birds and animal sounds and nature will be music to his ears.

My son was 10 years old when he received his implant. He is 38 now and enjoys wearing it. Be under NO illusion it took a great deal of getting used to for him and I put time in with his rehab too. The school for the Deaf that he attended were vehemently opposed to him having one, which was unfortunate and some students called him a robot! However, one of the teachers approached me when he left, hugged me and apologised because she thought it wouldn’t benefit him but was a big enough person to admit she’d been wrong. I do hope attitudes towards implants will have changed now.

He looks a little scared. This must be very overwhelming

it is Dutch from which country? is this ZA?

Sorry my ignorance but , What kind of german is that?
