Sentimental Cochlear Implant Proposal: The Moment She Hears "I Love You

A touching video titled "That's just lovely" has taken the internet by storm, capturing an incredibly emotional moment that combines the marvels of medical science with the beauty of human connection. In the video, a woman hears her partner's voice for the first time after receiving a cochlear implant. The very first words she hears are, “I love you, baby.” Her partner continues, “Yeah, yeah, well, I wanted to make one of the first things that you hear because I love you so much and you're my best friend, baby. I wanted to make the person you give me after you marry me.”

The video has sparked a plethora of reactions, ranging from awe to teary-eyed joy. One user noted, “She's pretty good at talking and understanding spoken language. Is this normal?” highlighting the woman's impressive ability to grasp spoken language quickly. Another user commented on the impeccable timing of the medical staff, “Nice situational awareness from the doctor or tech or whoever to get out of the shot as the proposal is going down.” This attention to detail didn't go unnoticed as another user exclaimed, “+10 awareness by the doc to know the g*** out of the shot.”

The emotional weight of the proposal left many viewers deeply moved. One user poignantly remarked, “I don't have chills, you have chills!” while another shared a more personal experience, “I had one in left ear. Sounds mostly normal. Won't be exact but can hear pretty clearly. Only problem was my skin kept growing over the implant. Tried to cauterize twice but it wouldn't stop. Finally gave up and now just have the plug in my head.”

The video also elicited thoughts on the broader implications of such technological advancements. “Science + human connection is great,” one user succinctly put it. Another user reflected on the emotional impact of similar breakthroughs, “Everytime I see this, ‘The sound of metal’ goes through my head,” drawing a parallel to the emotional narrative of the acclaimed film.

Of course, not all reactions were purely joyous. Some users questioned the timing of the proposal, “Why is he dumping the question on her in this moment. It's not about him, it's about her. Horrible timing. (Nice proposal though).” Others pondered the nature of the hearing experience, “So when people get these implants are they hearing what we hear or are they hearing some buzzing techno noises that vaguely resemble sounds?”

Despite the varied reactions, the overarching sentiment was one of admiration for the beautiful intertwining of science and love. “Good people and science did this,” a user noted, encapsulating the spirit of the moment.

This sentimental video serves as a reminder of the incredible possibilities that arise from the fusion of technology and human emotion. Whether it’s bringing sound to the hearing-impaired or connecting loved ones in profound new ways, moments like these showcase the best of what humanity can achieve.
