I'm so happy for this woman! I'm all choked up after watching the video.

Thanks for sharing nurse!

Daily Mail has more on the story:

Deaf woman weeps in emotional video as she hears her own voice for the first time

---
In response to [YouTube] viewers who were amazed at her ability to speak clearly, the formerly deaf woman said: 'My whole life I've been complimented on how well I speak.

'I don't really have an answer for you other than I have always had a passion for reading, grammar, and English.

'My hearing loss was/is considered severe to profound. I've worked very hard to be able to interact and blend in... only thing I can say is 'God is good'.'

There is some controversy now due to the fact that she speaks with a slight southern drawl. :twocents:

If that made you tear up, see the follow up. I didn't see this Ellen show but my DD told me about it. I found this link and, I again teared up. With everything going on in today's world, all good news helps. Thanks Ellen.

Oh my gosh, if I weren't sitting in a starbucks I would be bawling like a baby.

Both of my parents are deaf- what I would give for this for them!
