    1. So the next time you see one, don't just cheer for the newly hearing person, but take a moment to think of the others in the Deaf community and the viral videos that won't be made about them.

      This is such a great closing sentence and really makes the reader think about the other people in the community. It's so sad that some people are eligible to get an implant because their medical insurance cant cover it. Before reading this article I would never have thought of all the others who can't get implants but now I'm looking at these videos with a new air of eyes. I'm also going into this type of field and hopefully going to be an audiologist so this was a very interesting article that I enjoyed reading:)

    2. Most go through extensive therapy to cope with their newly-altered perspective on life. Some no longer feel welcome in the Deaf community or choose to leave it. Some have trouble relating to old friends. 

      I think this is a very important sentence, because after we see the video of someone hearing for the first. time we are like yeah! but we don't think about the adjustments the deaf community have to go through when they are able to hear again.

    3. Medical decisions are painfully personal, and as a woman who doesn’t want politicians telling me what I can and can’t do with my reproductive organs, I’m all for people making the health choices they think are best for them.

      I defiantly agree with this sentence and it is the same situation but with the deaf community. In the end it is what is best for that person at the end of the day.
