Yet in a wide variety of occupations and activities, people must develop their hearing skills to achieve proficiency. How do people learn to hear? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis innovative book investigates strategies and techniques for honing hearing in medicine, music, outdoor adventuring, and Morse code operation. Sarah Maslen uncovers tricks of the trade and forms of communal assistance for crafting these largely unconscious practices. She shows that hearing is far more complex than is often assumed and that it depends on competencies that extend beyond the ear. In so doing, Maslen explodes myths of genius and natural talent and the idea that certain skills are the province of particular kinds of people. Overcoming the distance between insiders and outsiders requires access to the collective support that cultivates seemingly natural sense abilities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLearning to Hear \u003c\/i\u003eexamines vivid and varied cases, such as how doctors listen for a heart murmur, how musicians build the skills to play along with others, how adventurers sense dangers like melting ice or falling rocks while climbing, and how telegraph operators develop a feel for Morse code. A deeply original exploration of the cultivation of hearing, this book offers a new approach to embodied experience.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah Maslen is a professor of sociology at the University of Canberra, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 08, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52696944345395,"sku":"9780231217897","price":57.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MvhyJGxlHF9780231217897.webp?v=1763124838","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/learning-to-hear-the-auditory-bases-of-excellence-in-practicing-medicine-climbing-mountains-making-music-and-communicating-in-morse-code-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
