A boy, diagnosed with progressive hearing loss, has his hearing aids turned on for the first time.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- A 2-year-old boy in Princeton, New Jersey had a priceless reaction when his hearing aids were turned on for the first time.



Little Kaiden was recently diagnosed with progressive hearing loss.



His mom, Caitlin Orantes, posted a video of the beautiful moment he got his hearing back.



Mom writes: "He's soooo happy and excited to finally be able to hear his own voice and mine! #GodIsGood."



She says Kaiden is a possible candidate for cochlear implants in the future. But for now, he can hear and they are happy!
