Traité des maladies de l'oreille et de l'audition

Jean Marc Gaspard Itard did not have formal medical training; he faked being a medical man to avoid the army and was assigned to a military hospital. But he mastered his new profession and showed remarkable abilities in the fields of otology, hearing and deafness in this two-volume work. His was the first comprehensive report of therapies for "deaf mutism," studies for which naught was invented nor improved but they had later application in oral education therapy. The hearing aids of the 19th century, ear trumpets, were inspired by his work.
