The Artificial Ear: Cochlear Implants and the Culture of Deafness
Stuart Blume
When it was first developed, the cochlear implant was hailed as a 'miracle cure' for deafness. That relatively few deaf adults seemed to want it was puzzling. Part ethnography and part historical study, this title is based on interviews with researchers who were pivotal in the early development and implementation of the new technology.
