| Research Abstract |
Waichiro Okada, the first professor in otorhinolaryngology in Japan who studied in Germany, informed educators of means to evaluate residual hearing of the ‘deaf-mute' and insisted the need for compulsory education for the deaf and custodial care for the deaf in case they were uneducated. Inokichi Kubo, one of Okada's successors, created experimental and clinical research environment at his otorhinolaryngology laboratory which had relations to educators of the deaf at both local and national level. Special class for the hard of hearing, however, had not been established until 1926, a quarter of a century after Okada's first advocacy.
