“This photo was taken by photographer Jack Bradley and depicts the exact moment this boy, Harold Whittles, hears for the very first time ever. The doctor treating him has just placed an earpiece in his left ear. Date unknown.“

This is an amazing photo. His face shows fear, confusion, amazement, and every other emotion wrapped into one. It’s kind of like watching someone be born when they’re old enough to react to the experience.
