Politics and Medical Progress --Notes --IndexWhen 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 1930's, to the first attempt at cochlear implantation in Paris in the 1950's, and to the widespread clinical application of the "bionic ear" since the 1980's.Cochlear implantsSocial aspectsCochlear implantsHistoryCochlear implantsSocial aspects.Cochlear implantsHistory.617.8/8220592Blume Stuart S.1942-1508978MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785283003321The artificial ear3740510UNINA01172nas 2200337 a 450 99619781190331620240413014029.0(CKB)1000000000415901(CONSER) 2005240324(EXLCZ)99100000000041590120761013a18969999 ua spaLa bibliotecaBuenos Aires Biblioteca Nacional1896-1 online resourceEditor: 1896- P.
