Adopting a critical stance vis-à-vis approaches of ageing as decline and deafness as disability, the research raises issues related to “giving voice,” uses and non-uses of ICT, filiation and intergenerationality as well as the relations between bodies and technologies. By way of conclusion, we sketch notions of ageing-together, techné and normalization as openings for further research.
