This is the moment a baby born deaf hears his mum and dad's voices for the first time after getting his cochlear implant activated.
Georgie Pfaffman was born to Sarah Pfaffman, 21, and Cole Pfaffman, 26, on November 27, 2023 after an uncomplicated pregnancy.
However, a virus which Sarah had contracted whilst pregnant had unknowingly transferred to Georgie and attacked his hearing and his brain.
As a result, Georgie was born completely deaf and the left side of his brain didn't form correctly, which caused cerebral palsy on the right side of his body.
In spite of these struggles, Georgie has continued to grow with the support of his parents and had his cochlear implant activated on two weeks ago on October 15.
