There is so much new in a child’s life, but few can compare to it. It’s almost too much for Mavis Malone – you can hear it for the first time.
“There’s a split second just before I covered them that I felt like I wanted to cry like, ‘Oh, I heard,’ you know?” his mother, Casey Cain Malone, said.
The 2-year-old girl was born with a genetic defect, which left her with a profound hearing loss.
There was a lot of hope that a four-hour surgery would change that. Doctors place cochlear implants in both ears, devices that transmit sound directly to the auditory nerve.
Now, without her mother signing, Mavis understands this and a trip to the park with her older siblings is a whole new world.
“I’m glad my sister listens and I love her,” one of her siblings said.
The end of silence and a life, changed forever.
