A mother has shared the moment her deaf baby daughter heard her voice for the first time.

Charly Keane was born severely deaf in August 2017.

Her parents, Christy and Daniel, managed to get a hearing aid for baby Charly and shared with the world the moment she heard her mum's voice for the very first time.

The video, showing the baby's heartwarming reaction, was shared earlier this week and has since gone viral.

"We had our miracle moment that I have been praying for when Char got her hearing aids today," Christy Keane posted on Facebook.

"We didn't think she would hear anything so this was more incredible than I can put in to words!"

The video has been video more than 15 million times since it was first uploaded to Facebook on October 13. It also has more than four million views on YouTube.

It shows baby Charly visibly emotional while being held by her mother who says "hi" and "I love you".

Well it appears this little sweetheart has stolen hearts and attracted some new followers around here with her viral video so I figured I would introduce our #darlingcharly and give a little background on her hearing loss. Charlotte was born completely deaf (bilateral profound congenital hearing loss). We don't know why or have any answers beyond that at this time. Neither my husband nor myself have a history of hearing loss in our families and nothing really prepared us for this news (shocking news, but not at all sad news). This sweet baby is beautiful and healthy and so capable of achieving everything she wants in life and we will make sure that happens! She got her hearing aids last week and we were prepared for ZERO response- so imagine our surprise and delight when she gave us such heartfelt emotion. She is amazing! We are exploring American Sign Language and plan to pursue cochlear implants when she is old enough! We are so lucky to have such an amazing support system who will make this girl feel nothing less than loved, worthy, and completely normal! #hearingloss #deaf #hearingaids #asl #cochlearimplants #charlyshearingjourney

The parents are now going to start working with a speech therapist so that Charly can learn to talk.
