This hearing aid was bulky but very different from the simple “hearing horns” that had previously been used. In the early nineteen hundreds the Vactuphone hearing aid was invented by Earl C. Hanson.

One of the first ways to sizing the significance of Martín-Barbero’s work and writings about communication and culture can be weighted by the epistemological twist his thinking triggered in the field of cultural studies and communication in Latin America.

Behaviorism held dominance over psychology for a few decades, because of the inclination it had towards the truly measurable observations in the field…
