Synopsis
With the rate of cochlear implantation reaching 80 per cent to 90 per cent of all deaf children, some as young as five months old, this volume presents the varying reactions around the globe to the high rate of this surgery. These views contrast sharply with the medical perspective of deafness overwhelmingly promoted through the media and by the cochlear implantation industry. At the same time, the contributors aim to disrupt the binaries that have long dominated the field of deafness. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
"Whereas some may eschew serious consideration of these 10 essays on bioethics and cochlear implants, those who do not will return to their own viewpoints with a broader perspective and with thoroughly tested, if not altered, convictions. If you think you can disregard anti-implant reasoning and if you think you understand pro-implant arguments, read this book and know why, amidst advances in the implant field, Ladd finds these to be 'dark and unpromising times' for the 'Peoples of the Eye.' " (Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education)"
