The artificial ear : cochlear implants and the culture of deafness / by Blume, Stuart S.,1942-;
The promise of new medical technology -- The making of the cochlear implant -- The cochlear implant and the deaf community -- The globalization of a controversial technology -- Implantation politics in the Netherlands -- Contexts of uncertainty : parental decision making -- Politics and medical progress.Includes bibliographical references and index."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. The technology was then modified for use with deaf children, 90 percent of whom have hearing parents. Then, controversy struck as the Deaf community overwhelmingly protested the use of the device and procedure. For them, the cochlear implant was not viewed in the context of medical progress and advances in the physiology of hearing, but instead represented the historic oppression of deaf people and of sign languages." "Part ethnography and part historical study, The Artificial Ear is based on interviews with researchers who were pivotal in the early development and implementation of the new technology. Through an analysis of the scientific and clinical literature, Stuart Blume reconstructs the history of artificial hearing from its conceptual origins in the 1930s, to the first attempt at cochlear implantation in Paris in the 1950s, and to the widespread clinical application of the "bionic ear" since the 1980s."--BOOK JACKET.

Working with deaf people : a handbook for healthcare professionals / by Middleton, Anna.;
Includes bibliographical references (p. [173]-186) and index."Long gone are the days when a deaf person is expected to struggle through a healthcare consultation with a health professional who has inadequate deaf awareness. Legislation now dictates that the onus is on the health professional to utilise the right communication skills. Deafness is very common, meaning that health professionals, whatever their specialist area, can expect to encounter a client with deafness or hearing loss on a daily basis. Working with Deaf People is intended for use as a general reference manual, offering practical advice on how to prepare for the consultation with clients who are deaf or deafblind. Information is offered about language, communication and culture; case studies demonstrate how the messages can be applied in practice. Every health professional, medical and nursing student, whatever their discipline and whatever country they work in, should have a copy of this book"--Provided by publisher.Facts and figures about deafness, NF2 and deafblindness / Anna Middleton, Wanda Neary and Kerstin Möller -- General themes to consider when working with deaf and hard of hearing clients / Anna Middleton -- Specialist issues relevant to working with d/Deaf clients / Anna Middleton -- Specialist issues relevant to working with clients with neurofibromatosis Type 2 / Wanda Neary -- Specialist issues relevant to working with clients with deafblindness / Kerstin Möller.
