Hearing Happiness: Deafness Cures in History… por Jaipreet Virdi
Any talented historian could have put together a narrative covering the lowlights on quack cures for deaf and hard of hearing people across history, but this title is made richer by the author's personal experiences. She notes that childhood was difficult with a clear hearing deficit and parents that wanted to find workable solutions so put more stock in hearing aids and prayers than were truly effective.
First thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed the book, especially since I live in Rochester, NY which is home to the Rochester School for the Deaf, one of the oldest schools in the US. I have worked with them several times in the past and they are a wonderful school but enough of that.
The book truly details the history of hearing products, cures, research, etc,, over the years and accompanied with advertisements and pictures makes it very interesting. I only rated it 3 stars because sometimes I got lost as it seemed to get too weighed down and technical for me - the average hearing reader so maybe I am not being completely fair.
Still all in all it was worth the read.… (más)
