Toddler Hears Mom Sing For First Time After Getting Hearing Aids

A family captured the adorable moment their toddler son couldn’t stop giggling when he heard his mom sing for the first time. Connelly Benton, aged 13 months, celebrated his ‘hearing birthday’ on August 31 when he was fitted with a set of hearing aids to combat his bilateral hearing loss. His parents, Jordy and Tanner Benton, from Hutchinson, Kansas, took their son for a walk so he could use his hearing aids to hear the sounds of the local neighborhood for the first time. As they approached a playing field, Connelly was happy to listen to the sounds of a football practice taking place nearby. It was then that Jordy, 27, sat down with her son and began singing “You Are My Sunshine,” also signing the words to each verse at the same time. As Jordy sang, Connelly giggled away in delight, unable to control his sweet laught as his mother continued to sing.
