Well it's the end of January already. Where did it go? After the busy summer season I thought we could do with some light relief so here's the latest article from the Deafness site at BellaOnline.com.

Being deaf isn't all bad
Sometimes it can be good to be deaf. Here’s a few times I was glad to be deaf.

BTW did you read about the young lad who had been deaf for 9 years and then suddenly the tip of a cotton bud dropped out of his ear. All the doctors had missed it over the years. Links to this story are on the forum too.

I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. Thank you to those who have posted or emailed me.

Please feel free to pass this message along to family and friends, who might be interested in this free information!
