I have written a blog post on "Earlids of the early 1900s," examining the way earlids were treated in that turn-of-century literature. Themes of concentration and unwanted sound, urban noise, that story about Edison's deafness, and some sense of the adaptive nature of forced hearing, plus a dose of luddite thinking: it was a fun romp!
