Praise for HEARING HAPPINESS

“Methodologically, Hearing Happiness is path-breaking.” -Susan Burch, Social History of Medicine

“The most striking thing about Jaipreet Virdi’s book is how it confirms that hearing loss isn’t a minor annoyance that afflicts a few people. Rather, with tremendous archival work, she shows us that, over the past three centuries, Anglo-American culture has been virtually obsessed with trying to cure deafness.” Lennard Davis, Times Higher Education
