Hey YouTube, Jim here!
Welcome to Top10 Archive!
If you haven’t heard of cochlear implants or EnChroma glasses, then boy are you in for
a treat today.
Cochlear implants are hearing devices which help deaf people to hear sound clearly, and
EnChroma glasses allow colorblind people to see vibrant colors for the very first time.
The moment that people hear or see color for the first time is always emotional, but some
of the clips online are guaranteed to bring a tear to your eye.
That’s why today, we’ve pulled together a list of our top ten best reactions to cochlear
implants and EnChroma glasses.

Amy Hears For The First Time At 26 Every parent looks forward to hearing their
child’s first words, but unfortunately for Amy, that wasn’t an opportunity she would
have.
That is until science stepped in the way.
Amy had been deaf since birth and had never heard her six-year-old son, Blake, speak.
But, in 2012 at 26-years-old, Amy had cochlear implants installed that would give her the
chance to hear properly for the very first time.
Amy’s aunt filmed the process of the device being switched on, and slowly but surely Amy
starts to hear the sound of the doctor’s voice.
Amy weeps as she hears the first clear sounds she’s ever heard, but her reaction to Blake’s
voice is truly heartwarming.

Wife Hears Husband Say "I Love You" For most of us, hearing the words "I love
you" from a loved one is something we take for granted.
For those of the hearing impaired, hearing those words for the first time sparks an emotion
you can't put into words.
This is exactly what Allyson Kahler felt the first time she heard her husband after getting
her cochlear implants.
In her own words, "It was very powerful and was one of the happiest days of my life".
As she weeps, we can only feel empathy through her video as we watch on.

that we take for granted every day.
The happy little boy seemingly didn’t let his hearing impairment get him down, but the
joy on his face when he hears his mom’s voice for the very first time is adorable.

Ethan’s Reaction To Seeing Color Vlogger Ethan starts his video by explaining
that he’s colorblind and that although his world isn’t in black and white he has a
hard time seeing certain colors properly.
So, when someone gifted a pair of EnChroma glasses to him without telling him what they
were, the results are pretty hilarious.
At first, he doesn’t seem to realize what the glasses are for, and then suddenly he
sees the difference in color and his confusion turns to disbelief.
Watch him as he checks out the leaves of a plant before walking around his office getting
excited about the bright colors of pens, post-it notes, and a purple container that really
blew his mind.

Little Girl Hears For First Time This video may be short, but it's just as
sweet.
While enjoying a blueberry sucker, it's easy to tell the moment that little Malia hears
her first words.
Her reaction is priceless and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't replay this video
a few times and emptied a box of tissues in the process.

Hugging and crying it out, we can't help but feel their emotions through the video.

Baby Regains Hearing Jonathan Breaux was born with perfect hearing,
but in 2007 at just four months old he contracted bacterial meningitis.
Thankfully, Jonathan recovered, but he suffered lasting damages including the loss of his
hearing.
As meningitis continued its rampage through Jonathan’s tiny body, his parents had to
make a quick decision as to whether they should get the cochlear implant surgery before it
became too late.
They decided to go ahead with it, and four months later the device was switched on and
he was able to hear his mom’s voice once again.
His reaction is nothing short of beautiful, especially as he drops his binky to crack
a smile.

Brian Gets A Surprise Gift When a family gathered together for their
mom’s birthday, Brian didn’t expect to be the one receiving the greatest gift of
all on that day.
The family filmed as his daughter brings out a small box for Brian, who is clearly confused
by the fact that he’s the one receiving the gift.
But his mom clears up the confusion in the sweetest way possible.
The family waits for Brian to open his gift and realize what’s inside, and when he does
he instantly becomes emotional.
And, when he puts the glasses on, his emotions really get the better of him.
He seems to be in shock at what he’s seeing after spending decades living without vibrant
colors, before fully breaking down into tears.

Dad Cries Over Daughter's Eyes Seeing a child cry is one thing.
Seeing a grown man cry after he looks into his daughter's eyes for the first time after
putting on a pair of Enchroma glasses, is something you can't put into words.
This dad immediately tried to hold back his tears after putting on the glasses, but when
his wife told him to look into his daughter's eyes, he lost it.
And frankly, so did I.
Not to take away from any of the clips featured in this video, but this is one YouTube video
that you have to watch the whole 4-minutes of.

it’s looked for the past 12 years.
She’s thrilled to see how vibrant colors suddenly look, and as she strolls around her
neighborhood it’s as though she’s seeing it for the very first time.
