\nMy research topic is cochlear implant social media. Within this arc is the highlight of experiences\u2013sharing insight of stories that are empathetically relatable, daily in activity, and understood by many. The author does well in noting the availableness of support groups, not only for the CI recipient, but for loved ones as well (parents, family, friends). There is absolutely a positive benefit in the form of social media, in being able to connect with a community of people having a common care for hearing loss in their lives.

\nThe author is in favor of the concept of early intervention\u2013the positive involvement and cooperation of parent, caregiver, professionals, social support, appropriate services, and necessary resources\u2013to the optimal development and confidence of a person with hearing loss. I am personally familiar with such frontline efforts of remarkable impact. My research path, involving the usefulness of social media, takes into account this guidance and education for the adult spectrum\u2013the demographic that is not always immersed with technology, especially social media, and requires both the awareness and advocacy of available online resources, to ease stressors and to be at their best capability to provide for an infant, young child, older adolescent, and\/or young adult throughout various aspects of life.
