Hello friends. I've been away visiting Tasmania and haven't had a chance to email you so doing a bit of catch up.

Here's the latest article from the Deafness site at BellaOnline.com and I'll probably have another one later in the week.

Why do deaf people shout? Why do people shout at deaf people? Why does speech deteriorate along with hearing loss? Of course the obvious answer is that we no longer hear own voice. But there is more to it than that.
