Katie-louise,
Of the Top Fifteen CI blogs listed in the Award you earned, I'd put yours at #2, only because Michael Chorost is a professional author publishing his second book on the subject. [But, if it's any consolation, people who know him say he's a real a**hole... And from my dealings with him, I agree.]
I personally know three of the winning bloggers: Laurie Pullins, Abbie Cranmer Hlavacec, and Jennifer "Sweetpea" Thorpe. All three have very good blogs, though Mrs Hlavacec has abandoned hers over a year ago.
Some of the blogs don't even belong, because they either have so much other garbage unrelated to hearing & deafness, or are almost cookie-cutter with few useful insights.
Why your blog is so special is that has both excellent original content as well as a nice mix of your personal experiences of your exciting life.
In addition, your blog entry on managing a CI processor (and by extension, BTE hearing aid) is much better than anything I have seen, either from the HA & CI manufacturers, CI centers, or other users. In fact, I recommend it so much, I have a special TinyURL for it: http://TinyURL.com/KLSports
Some of the other blogs that are better than many of the Top 15 winners include:
* Funny Old Life by Tina Lannin in London;
* Becoming Deaf in Norway by Ulf Nagel;
* Bionically Yours by Tasha Jewel Hanley in Seattle;
* Cacophony to Symphany by "Pink LAM" in Dallas;
* Kate's Cochlear Implant by Kate Locke (since abandoned, but still quite good);
* Gina Sprenkel's interesting CI blog by Gina Sprenkel in Houston;
* Ben Heldner's experience with a MedEl Duet2 Hybrid EAS (cochlear implant + hearing aid): Part 1 and Part 2;
* CI Theory by Mile Marzalek;
* Sudden Silence by Wendi Kast in Chicago.
Hope everyone enjoys the links!
