Zenek and Sasha's Hearing
Канада
Добавлен 8 июл 2016
Zenek (born 2012) and Sasha (2014) are the youngest two of our four children. They both have Waardenburg's syndrome type 2A, which causes hearing loss. These videos show their hearing aid activations, and later their cochlear implant activations as well as updates of their progress. They are both doing extremely well with their implants.
Deaf Baby Hears for the First Time - Sasha's First Hearing Aids
Baby Sasha was born profoundly deaf. See her at 2 months old hearing for the first time with her hearing aids at Hotel Dieu Shaver in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.
Sasha had been awake for several hours. She was alert and happy all through fitting the hearing aids. Then she fell asleep just before it was time to turn them on.
She now has bilateral cochlear implants. See her hear for the first time with her implants here: ruclips.net/video/IXVwC1NWerk/видео.html

3-year-old day after surgery for cochlear implant
Просмотров 195Год назад
You would never know his head was cut open the day before. Zenek just had his second cochlear implant surgery (the left) at 3 years old the morning before. We thought for sure that we would stay the night, but by afternoon he was begging to go home, so we did. This is him the next evening. This was March 8, 2016.

Zenek looves chocolate, but does he love *this* chocolate??? Zenek was born deaf and now has cochlear implants on both sides. See the other videos on this channel to see his reaction when his cochlear implants were turned on, as well as his hearing aids before that.
Dancing with cochlear implants!

Ever wondered if cochlear implant recipients can enjoy music? This was an honest question I had before my kids got their implants. As you can see, the answer is an absolute yes!! They love music. Zenek and Sasha were born profoundly deaf. Zenek had his right implant done at 12 months, and his left when he was 3 years old. Sasha had both done at the same time at 12 months. In this video, Zenek i...
Deaf Child Recites ASL Poem - "Bat"
Просмотров 7386 лет назад
This is Zenek's very first American Sign Language (ASL) poem recitation of a poem called "Bat". It is a little bat. You see him sleeping with his wings closed, ears poking up, and flying away. This was during his second month of school at Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf in Belleville, Ontario, Canada where he officially started learning ASL.
School for the Deaf: Zenek's First Day
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.6 лет назад
Zenek gets on the bus for the first time going to the Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Over the summer of 2017, our family of 6 moved so that he (and later Sasha) can go to the school for the deaf without having to stay in residence. He'll be learning American Sign Language (ASL) at school, but he'll still be wearing his cochlear implants in class.
ASL Poem - "I love you"

Our ASL teacher taught us a rhyme in ASL. Zenek absolutely loves it. One day, he spontaneously signed it back to us, so we decided to get it on video. He asks us to do it every night.
Deaf Baby Hears for the First Time with Cochlear Implants

See baby Sasha's reaction to having her cochlear implants activated for the first time at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She was 12 months old. This time of day is normally her bed time. She was tired. The only thing that would have made her happy is bottle and bed. So it wasn't pretty. But given a break, she adjusted quickly. Sasha was born with Waardenburg's Syndr...

See Sasha fix her own cochlear implant magnet, at 20 months old. This shocked us since her older brother Zenek only started doing this just before he turned three. See her activation here: ruclips.net/video/IXVwC1NWerk/видео.html

God bless you, Sasha. ❤
Too much strong noise for the first time
Read my pinned comment. She wasn't hearing what you're hearing.
The other children are so misbehaved! Running around, making noise, slamming the toys into the table, playing with the chair
With 4 kids, you pick your battles or go insane. They were energetic, but not bad. Microphones (especially cheap ones in cameras) make things sound a lot more loud (and piercing) than it actually is in person. I'm sensitive to sound, and I don't remember being bothered by it at all.
@@ZenekandSashasHearing yes, but for the baby hearing for the first time, it is not appropriate for them to be doing such things
@@Random_Wierdo. Read my pinned comment. She wasn't hearing what you're hearing.
@@ZenekandSashasHearing I read your comment yes. But I think when a child is starting to hear the environment should be different. They should be careful if something is too loud because it COULD be scary or too much for them to take at once. it’s just some common sense. If you don’t agree, that’s up to you.
@@Random_Wierdo. Well when you're deaf, hearing anything unexpectedly is scary. If I could do it again, sure, I'd quiet down the boys as they were put on. But in the end it doesn't really matter. She still would have been scared and cried. And it's one blip in her life. She's 10 now and has cochlear implants which she loves to wear.
(I reposted this video since RUclips messed up the last one) Yes, a quiet room may have helped a little, I believe she still would have cried, for a couple reasons: 1. She is profoundly deaf. Without hearing aids, she would _start_ reacting to noise around 90dB. That is about as loud as standing next to a gas lawn mower. That was a whisper to her. So without the hearing aids, she was hearing _nothing_ . Hearing aids are not able to restore her hearing 100%. So even with the hearing aids, the room was not as loud to her as it is to us. It was louder than she's used to, of course, but certainly nowhere near painful - and she still cried anyway. 2. If you watch her cochlear implant activation ( ruclips.net/video/IXVwC1NWerk/видео.html ), you'll see that it was a quiet room, but she still cried anyway. In both cases, it's just a new experience and she has no idea what's going on. But also in both cases, she adjusted very quickly. She was fine with them later the same day. When you're deaf, hearing _anything_ is a shock.
Bendiciones de Dios para este pequeño y hermoso niño❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is a so big pain to be alone ,cut from the others in the silence …
For sure!
It actually hurts to hear @ first! I have one!
I can believe that! But it's amazing how quickly they adapt (at least babies).
It’s miracle! I have one!👏🏿🌈👏🏿🌈👏🏿🌈🦋🦋🦋🦋
Dang! Who would bring another noisy kid to a babys first experuence of hearing?
Parents who have several kids 😄 Don't worry, he's taken plenty of revenge on his brothers since then!
I'm guessing you have no children
He's clearly going to be a bad mood child. Some are. Nothing to be done about it.
😄 Couldn't be further from the truth. He is a super personable boy who will talk to anyone and everyone.
What a silly comment! He’s a beautiful sweet baby boy! Cochlear implant’s are almost painful in the beginning! I have one!👏🏿
Nonsense! You see one moment and think you can judge
That little smile mèlted this old mans heart,
Glad he could brighten your day. He's 10 now and still does that for people 😊
Tiene cachetes de bull dog inglés 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
cute❤️
wow❤️
Crazy kid!! I wish we could all get a million subscribers!! I would go in service everywhere!!!
This was 7 years ago, to the day.
I cried.
Marvellous little man! God Bless!
God Bless
While a celebration, should there be so much sound right away...?
If you're talking about the noise at 1:03, she couldn't hear that. Her implants weren't turned on to the world yet. All she heard was the beeps. The sound came from a toy monkey with symbols that would light up and move when she responded to sound. It's there so that young children will look up to it when they hear a sound in anticipation of it lighting up and moving.
God Bless
God Bless
Priceless smile...HE HEARD HIS MAMAS VOICE !!!! WOOHOO !!!
I think he initally got afraid when he cried. Like he didn't know he was causing the sound that scares him. Maybe?
Oh yeah, for sure. Imagine suddenly gaining a sense. Things would have sounded weird too. People who have gotten implants as adults say that everything robotic or even like clicking at first. As time goes on and the brain adapts, things start sounding normal.
He's got to be hearing the other child also. Seems that would be very confusing for him to just start hearing and have that constant noise from other kid.
Yeah, he was definitely hearing his older brother, but when you're deaf, hearing _anything_ is confusing. 🙂
Play “Baby Shark”. It’s irresistible to little ones.
Haha 😄 Great idea, although this was a couple years before that came out!
God bless you little gem.... and protect you from evil eyes🙏🙏🙏🙏
