| Sumario: | Through the present work, disability is going to be analyzed, mainly the one that affects hearing, as a result of a framework of lacks and excesses of senses. It is crucial to reflect upon the need of listening to the other, understanding that listening does not have to do only with a biological component and also that there are many ways of listening. When the sense of hearing is touched, an effect of individual and collective cries –both of whom suffers and whom does not suffer from hearing difficulties –is generated. Extreme silences are also provoked. If these arisen issues are framed by postmodern ideals, it can be observed that health is offered as a commodity product and that the approaches to it are technical, operational and efficient. Trying to listen to others may become difficult for a society too concerned with the speed of results. Autistic disorders manifest a selective deafness which accounts for the fact that deafness cannot be reduced to a biological component. Moreover, listening is not only through our ears. Institutional functionings are observed where the lack and excess of deafness become manifest. An example of such institutional functionings is the value attributed to the early diagnoses and the set of treatments to which the diagnosed person is subject to when she or he presents a disability. A diagnosed child may lose its condition of such. The labeling either marginalizes or tampers the developmentof her or his affective life. A progressive loss of the ability of hearing is observed while “the technique” is transformed in the new means of communication. This shows a breakdown in the social link and the technique as an alternative. The methods employed for the treatment of deafness are composed by techniques that “do not listen”. To try to listen means to try to go into the laws of hearing of the other. |
