[ 2310 ] Augenblicke für das Ohr (Wagner/Spillmann), (German)

In "Augenblicke für das Ohr - der Mensch und sein Gehör" (Moments for the Ear - Man and His Hearing), the authors use numerous examples to show the figurative idioms that the German language has developed over the course of time around hearing: We are "up to both ears in love" or "up to both ears in debt", we hear "the fleas cough" or "the grass grows".Detailed explanations of medical developments, the latest assistive devices and surgical techniques, the different positions regarding optimal language education - pro and contra sign language -, as well as well-founded position statements from the fields of psychological counseling, education and training make "Moments for the Ear - Man and His Hearing" an important work for professionals and interested lay people.
