KevinKevin's  "A Hole in the Head" blog

Kevin has always had a hearing problem, and has worn aids since just after his Greenhill days.  At the end of 2007, he opted to undergo what was then a novel operation - the implanting of a stud into the bone of his skull behind his left ear.  The stud could then have a microphone/amplifier plugged into it, and if successful many of his problems would be over.

With a little persuasion, he agreed to write a Blog of his experiences.  This not only grew as he chronicled his progress, but also as time progressed he included a great deal of backgouund material.
In reading it, do remember that is is in effect a web-site in its own right, with various categories of material.  Also, being a Blog, one needs to "read it backwards" to follow the entries in chronological order.  Read more.....
