Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"A superb account of how a controversial technology becomes normalized patient by patient. While following families from newborn screening to post-Cochlear implant, Laura Mauldin shows that little of the political turmoil related to this medical technology is salient for the parents faced with a child with hearing loss."—Stefan Timmermans, University of California, Los Angeles


"Dr Mauldin is a talented writer who offers keen insight in several areas where practitioners can improve."—Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education
