Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of cochlear implants, a surgical technology that provides hearing sensations to the profoundly deaf. The author focuses on the roles of researchers, government regulators, and other key players in shaping the trajectory of this technology. Through a detailed analysis of the field's emergence, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between scientific, social, and economic forces that influence technological innovation. The author argues that the development of cochlear implants was not simply a matter of scientific progress, but rather a contested process involving multiple stakeholders with diverse interests and perspectives.
