However the video below, posted to YouTube by his mothers, India Lipton and Shirley Lesser, shows the 22-month-old tot's pure joy at being able to hear clearly for the first time.
Dylan can be seen as he tests out his new hearing aids at the Children's Hospital of Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University, and finding the one that works for him, he squeals and giggles in clear excitement.
Now, two months after getting his hearing aids, he loves listening to and playing music, and is becoming quite the little Mozart.
Bless!
