		<title>An update for you all</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven’t blogged for ages. I’m not sure why. I got out of sync I think. I forgot how to blog, I couldn’t be bothered. I also had a lot of other things taking up brain space.
I also found myself wanting to be private for a bit while I get used to my new hearing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Long time no blog :-)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Huge apologies for not blogging for, um, ages.
Thanks to the kind and very dear Ruth for prompting me to write. 
The last couple of months have been crazy. We’ve finally sold our house (yay!) had lots of problems getting mortgage sorted for new house (boo) but I think we’re finally getting there and despite having [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sounds in Silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve really been able to listen to my Tinnitus properly seeing as no hearing aid or CI has been used to drown it out. I never knew there were so many different sounds!
Let me see…
The Foghorn – a long continuous one pitched sound, sometimes high and wailing, sometimes low [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quote of the day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My best friend posted on Facebook last night, something that made me really smile. It’s so true!
“Being deaf sucks but there are small mercies occasionally. The dog is snoring and snuffling like a good un, just like the husband really..! And I&#8217;m about to sleep through it all!”

I can only but agree! As expected of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A life of  complete Silence #2 &#8211; Working at work, working at home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following my last post, (A life of complete silence) I’ve decided to write a bit more about how my life has changed in recent weeks. Its been a very frustrating time, and there have been many moments of where I’ve not been able to see the light at the end of this particular tunnel. There [...]]]></description>

		<title>A life of complete silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have always been Deaf.
However a hearing aid has always benefitted me to an extent that I could communicate moderately easily with people, talk on the telephone once upon a time, hear my children shouting for my attention if they were nearby and even play and enjoy music. The hearing aid aided my lip-reading. Although [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scared is not the word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a very slight cold last week. Just a runny nose, nothing more to it than that. 
Usually when I have a cold my hearing drops slightly. Just makes it a bit quieter, nothing more to it than that. 
Normally, it only lasts a couple of days and then returns back to normal, nothing [...]]]></description>

		<title>West Midlands Deaf Netball ROCK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About 6 years ago, I joined West Midlands Deaf Netball team. Within a year, I was Secretary. We were a bunch of mostly Deaf girls, with a few hearing girls with connections to the Deaf community playing netball in a tournament, having fun.
We had to fold about 3 years ago as four of the most [...]]]></description>

		<title>All for nothing? It might be.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m sorry for not blogging earlier about my progress with the CI. I’m afraid there is none and I have been dreading writing about it.
I have a lot of worries about various situations surrounding the CI and I’m finding myself getting more and more stressed.
The biggest worry is that it’s not worked. But I’ll get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Knowing me? Knowing you.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow I have an appointment with the CI clinic, to look at progress (which is none) and perhaps work out where I go from here (hopefully forward).
I have some plans to ask them to try. One idea is that as the distortion I get is primarily dominated by high pitched whispering hushes enveloping every sounds [...]]]></description>
