Managing the Experience of Hearing Loss in Britain, 1830–1930 By Graeme Gooday, Karen SayerEnglish | PDF | 2017 | 138 Pages | ISBN : 1137406879 | 1.65 MB
This book looks at how hearing loss among adults was experienced, viewed and treated in Britain before the National Health Service. We explore the changing status of ‘hard of hearing’ people during the nineteenth century as categorized among diverse and changing categories of ‘deafness’. Then we explore the advisory literature for managing hearing loss, and techniques for communicating with hearing aids, lip-reading and correspondence networks.
