#Introduction

Super excited to announce my new project, DEAF FUTURITY.

This #project examines the #design and #engineering of #HearingAids , from aesthetics of 20th century devices, to new prototypes that attempt to redesign how we think of #deafness, and deaf/tech collaborations.

This interdisciplinary project merges academia & tech with history & art, centering predominately on deaf users & designers.

DEAF FUTURITY is still at the early stages but I will be discussing it briefly at @[email protected]👇🏼

@andreamm it's at a conference, the society for the history of technology, and alas, not a public panel.

@jaivirdi This is very exciting! Super interested in the topic of new ways to think about hearing aid design and the impact novel design and U.S. deregulation might have on accessibility, stigma, etc.
