Here’s the stunning moment a deaf girl heard for the first time after receiving an astounding brain implant.

Maggie Gleason’s story went viral in 2015 after medical specialists recorded her hearing noises for the first time.

It’s the most touching video you’ll see in 2025, say viewers.

As a teenager, Maggie underwent extensive surgery to implant an auditory brainstem in the bottom region of her brain.

Doctors at UH Case Medical Center in Cleveland captured Maggie’s response after turning on the implant, and the video shows her smiling as she experiences hearing for the first time.

“Maggie, can you hear me?” Her father, Frank, said:

“Can you hear my voice?” Maggie’s mother, Joanna, said, “What about your sister?

Maggie then nodded and said, “Yes,” causing the entire room to burst into tears at the highly emotional occasion.

University Hospitals posted the video on YouTube, where it rapidly became popular, with over three million views.

“Maggie Gleason, 14, who was born deaf, heard sound for the first time ever when hearing specialists at UH Cleveland Medical Center turned on an innovative electronic device called an auditory brainstem implant (ABI),” according to the video’s description.

This video’s comments section was packed, and everyone in the house was interested.

“What an inspiring family!” I’m glad this technology has reached Maggie; may it assist her in continuing to make significant progress in her life. “Bravo!” one individual wrote.

A second person added, “WOOOO!! Go to humanity and science! This is incredible…just wonderful.”

Many people questioned Maggie’s ability to understand what physicians and her loved ones were saying, so the University Hospital’s account turned to the comments area to explain.

“So Maggie doesn’t yet grasp words like we do,” they continued. Currently, she communicates using a combination of American Sign Language (ASL) and lip-reading signals, now supplemented with aural clues. She is collaborating with a speech-language pathologist to interpret words using auditory cues. When learning a new language, one must not only hear the auditory sounds of the words but also educate the brain to understand them. “This will take time.”

The area of the head where the spinal cord and the lower part of the brain intersect is home to the auditory brainstem implant, an electric device.
