This video shows the touching moment a 40-year-old woman hears for the first time thanks to medics at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Joanne Milne - who suffers from the rare condition Usher Syndrome - was filmed by her mother as her life-changing cochlear implants were switched on by doctors.

The 39-year-old, from Gateshead in the North East, became overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears after the audiology specialist at QEHB recited the days of the week.
