Social, Cultural and Historical Aspects of Hearing Impairment : Identity and Modern Sound Environments

• Research aim: The overall aim of the project is to explore the intersection between sound environments, identity formation and habilitation practices. While various locations involve different types of sounds, not everyone has equal access to these soundscapes. How can the relationship between sound environments and identity be studied and described? Which social and cultural processes make sound environments including or excluding, and how do they work? How can contemporary habilitation create supportive practices and develop methods in order to promote inclusion?
