Newborn can't stop smiling as she hears mother's voice
This is the adorable moment that a baby hears its mother’s voice for the very first time.
Alison Potts was born with a genetic hearing disorder called Waardenburg syndrome and she unknowingly passed it on to three of her eight children - including little Ellianna.
The condition is a rare genetic disorder most often characterized by varying degrees of deafness as well as a white forelock of hair, skin pigmentation loss, in some cases cleft lip and pallet and issues with the heart.
Alison’s youngest, Ellianna, who is three-months-old, was one of the children born with the condition and was unable to hear her own mother’s voice.
However, after receiving her first pair of hearing aids, the tot was shocked into silence when her mum started to sooth her.
