A heartwarming video has emerged from the US of a baby hearing his mum's voice for the first time.

The video, shot earlier this month in Gwinnett County, Georgia, shows eight months old Xander, who got hearing aids 9 weeks after his birth, adorably giggling when he hears her mum's voice using a Phonax hearing device.

''Xander suffered a brain bleed while he was in NICU. He was 9 weeks early. They told me he passed his hearing screen while he was in NICU,'' her mum later wrote online.

''When he was discharged after 59 days in the hospital, I noticed he didn't get startled like other babies. It took me 3 months of advocating for my son for them to test his hearing. They thought I was just being a over protective mother. I was proven right. Never underestimate a mother! ''

''His hearing will not get worse but he also will never get better without his hearing aids,'' she added.
