		<description>Welcome to the CI blogs. I have really enjoyed reading your website since I was implanted in July of 2007. I am starting on your book and can't wait. We do have a connection - Let Them Hear did my appeals and approval as well. Can't wait for your bilateral adventures.</description>

		<description>Hi Michael,

You don't know me, but I've been reading about you for several years now, by way of articles and now blogs that have come my way over the years.

I've just added your blog to my feed on google reader, as well as Abbie's.

I was implanted in 1993.  For 15 years I had near normal hearing and was not in the slightest hard of hearing.  Unfortunately my implant stopped working properly in may/June last year, and I'm currently undergoing tests to see if I can have my left ear implanted.  It hasn't heard anything for 16 years, so there's that element of doubt all over again.

I started a blog - but because I'm still undergoing tests, I haven't blogged about how truly devastating my loss of heairng is just yet.  I'm not able to really as I get too emotional at present.  However I've touched on hearing difficulties, but will be blogging through the process of reimplantation once things get moving along.  I have a test in 2 weeks to see if my nerve is intact on the left side - has to be under a general anaesthetic though and I will know more then. (www.robyncarter.blogspot.com)

Cheers
