1) Each player must post the rules at the top.
2) Answer the questions in bold (impossible on my blog - using bold makes the text light gray)
3) Tag five people you would like to know better, go to their blogs, let [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Normal hearing children that grow up with a hard of hearing (HOH) parent naturally adapt to the parent’s hearing loss; from an early age, both of my children muted the television, turned off music, and made sure I could see their lips before they attempted to speak to me.  Sometimes I felt just a [...]]]></description>

Library customer:  I need to use a computer and my “liberry” card isn’t working.
Me:  Let me check your record - I’ll need your card, please.  Hmm.  It looks like you have lost book fees on your record.  Sorry, you [...]]]></description>

No, this has nothing to do with Big Brother - I&#8217;m just curious, and I&#8217;m sure a lot of other hoh/deaf people would be interested in knowing the different careers held by other hoh/deaf.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week my audiologist adjusted the settings on my hearing aids. I had reached the point where I didn’t want to wear them at work because it was too painful to hear. Environmental sounds were so magnified that I almost jumped out of my skin, yet speech remained barely audible. In the Library, the “clunk” [...]]]></description>

Helen and I laughed when John, a neighbor, told us how his hearing aid occasionally emits a high-pitched squeal that can be heard by anyone near him. His granddaughter was sitting on his lap one day when the device started to beep.
Surprised, little Lorraine [...]]]></description>

Me:  What?
SHB:  Look! [...]]]></description>
