Piece for Hands & Ears was developed as part of the PhD dissertation Tuning the Ear (University of Aarhus, 2019) by Sandra Boss. The dissertation proposes new attention around the term ‘hearing’ by exploring technologies which have historically been used to diagnose, normalize and even optimize the ear. By attending to both the discursive, historical frames, and the operative means of selected audiological instruments, amongst others audiometers, hearing horns, hearing aids, and sound-therapy instruments, the dissertation exposes how technology tunes the ear, i.e. how technology lets us hear and how technology frames conceptions of hearing. Tuning the Ear is available for download through academia.edu.
