      glad that something is moving for you. You see hearing aids quite frequently nowadays and they impact quite little on the overall look of the face, compaired to their usefullness.

        Kaz,

        Do you get problems with pressure changes and your sinuses when you go up & down hill or fall out of an aeroplane?

        Ooh I hate that Zigs, there is a hill near here that I go up & down a few times a week & in the all the years it has never changed & sometimes they take allot of swallowing hard to make the ears go "pop" when you get down or up.. It was actually a problem for me when touring USA & Canada as I suffer from altitude sickness if up I am above 6000ft for any length of time.... :DOH: :what:

        I've tried explaining it to my kids without any sucess, but there are muscles, somewhere near where your jaw hinges, that can adjust the pressure, do the same thing that yawning does. I find I adjust without thinking going up & down hill. Have to think about it more when falling out of an aeroplane though.

        That aside, I want you both to get 2 tablespons of Cider Vinegar, put it in a bowl with boiling water & put a towel over your heads as you breath it in through your nose.

        Shut your eyes when you do that though.

        Kill 98% of the bacteria that lurks in your sinuses, I get bad sinuses, makes my sight bad somedays.

        Don't use that strong french stuff though.
