A 5-Year-Old Removed His Hearing Device To "Turn Off" Listening To His Mom, And The Internet Is In Tears
"Cooper, born profoundly deaf, humorously uses his cochlear implants to turn off his hearing when he wants a break, showcasing a playful perspective on hearing loss."
In the face of a challenging start to 2025, Minnesota photographer Beth Leipholtz shares a humorous video of her 5-year-old son, Cooper, who is profoundly deaf due to Waardenburg syndrome. Cooper, adeptly using his cochlear implants, playfully turns off his hearing to take a 'break,' encapsulating a light-hearted view on his condition. This playful interaction between mother and son not only highlights their bilingual upbringing in English and ASL but offers a unique perspective on embracing one's circumstances with humor.
