Praise for HEARING HAPPINESS

“Through its rich account of man-machine interaction leading to the generation of a complex order of identities, Hearing Happiness becomes a fruitful addition to the research narratives on entangled subjectivities and medical prosthetics.”- Manali Karmakar, Medical Humanities

“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
