Managing the Experience of Hearing Loss in Britain, 1830–1930

“Categorizing and investigating the experiences of a group defined through individual members’ emotional experience of hearing loss as a loss is a simple yet innovative approach, making this book valuable to the burgeoning field of the history of emotions.” (Coreen McGuire, Technology and Culture, Vol. 61 (4), October, 2020)



“Managing the Experience of Hearing Loss in Britain, 1830-1930 offers a concise overview of a neglected dimension of the history of disability. … it highlights an inherently intriguing topic and provides a welcome impetus for further exploration of the experiences of the hard of hearing.” (Ben Ford, H-Disability, July, 2019)
