Deaf Girl Reacts To Hearing Her Own Voice For The First Time

Deaf Girl Reacts To Hearing Her Own Voice For The First Time

A young girl named Kendyl is taking the internet by storm with her precious reaction to hearing her own voice.

You see, Kendyl is deaf and because of that, she's never had the chance to hear before - that is, until she was fitted with hearing aids.

Kendyl lives in Colorado with her mom, Kacey, and she speaks American Sign Language to those around her. Kacey decided to get Kendyl some hearing aids so she could finally hear if she chose to, and her reaction is priceless.

Kacey shared a video of Kendyl reacting to her hearing aids on social media and it quickly went viral.

Since being shared on TikTok, the video has been viewed more than 19 million times! Even the official TikTok account commented on the video saying, "this is so precious."

Kacey captioned the video: "When you hear yourself for the first time."

In the clip, you can see Kendyl saying that she can hear the sound of a clap on a leg, but then she hears her own voice and freezes in disbelief. She proceeds to make more noises, clearly stunned that she's producing sound!

Kacey added in the comments, "She's been learning what things make noise today and it's so fun to see!"
