Baby daughter’s ‘lightbulb moment’ becomes video hit

A FATHER has delighted social media by sharing the moment he turns his severely deaf daughter’s hearing aids on in the morning.

Paul Addison, 32, from Harrogate, tweeted a video of four-month-old Georgina reacting to the moment with the caption: “When our daughter’s new hearing aids are turned on in the morning.”

The video quickly passed 10,000 likes and 150,000 views on Twitter in under 24 hours. After she had been wearing the aids for a few weeks, her father decided to share the “lightbulb moment” with the world.

“It’s absolutely phenomenal,” Mr Addison said, adding: “It’s like the lights have been switched on.”

Actor Chris O’Dowd responded to Mr Addison’s video, doing so with a heart emoji.
