Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Man on ski holiday descends mountain and suddenly regains hearing

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
The Sun reports this morning the remarkable case of Derek Glover, who instantaneously regained full hearing after 15 years of virtual deafness ... while descending a mountain on a ski holiday in the Italian Dolomites.

72-year-old Derek, of Bourne, Lincolnshire, was with his daughter Dawn when he heard a "loud pop" and could suddenly hear her voice clearly. He'd originally lost his hearing while in the Army ... but also gained skiing skills by being in the Army!

Interviewed on BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning, it appeared that Derek was actually in a ski lift at the time his hearing popped back to normality, but maybe this extraordinary event could be put down to a 'side-effect' of skiing.

Here is the Sun report.
