Deaf Man Hears Daughter's Voice for First Time

Here's one Christmas present you won't find just wrapped under the tree.

Ken Stehle, a 50-year-old father from St. Peters, Mo., has been deaf his whole life, meaning he could never hear his 15-year-old daughter Ashley sing -- until last Sunday, that is. Ken recently received a new hearing aid that requires him to wear a receiver around his neck and Ashley to wear a special microphone that transmits to the receiver.

With the hearing aid, Ken received the Christmas gift of a lifetime when he heard Ashley's voice, for the first time, during her high school concert.

Ashley surprised her dad by singing "Daddy Please Come Home For Christmas" solo.

"It's amazing, I had goose bumps all over me. I'm very proud of my daughter," Ken Stehle told local news station KSDK.

Sounds like a Christmas miracle if ever we've heard one.
