SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Bridging the gap between bilateral cochlear implants and ...
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zachary Smith\nDate: Friday 28 October 2016\nTime: 2.00pm – 3.30pm\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 4\, NAL seminar room (enter via Australian Hearing Reception\, Level 5) \nBio: Zachary Smith is Director of Coding Research at Cochlear Limited’s Research & Technology Labs\, based in Denver\, Colorado. He investigates basic auditory perception of electrical stimulation and develops new algorithms for better hearing with a cochlear implant. Dr. Smith received his PhD from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. \nAbstract: Listening in complex acoustic environments remains a challenge for recipients of cochlear implants. While bilateral implantation generally improves hearing performance with the addition of a second ear\, evidence suggests that much of the benefit can be attributed to monaural effects and little usage of interaural time difference (ITD) cues. A temporally sparse coding strategy\, FAST\, was developed with the aims of 1) delivering more salient ITD cues and 2) increasing power efficiency. While initial results show success with achieving significantly improved ITD sensitivity and even binaural unmasking in some listeners with the FAST strategy\, additional challenges with bilateral cochlear implants will be discussed in the context that multiple sources of binaural cue distortion need to be solved before the promise of true binaural hearing can be fully realized. \nWho should come:  hearing\, speech and language researchers and clinicians\, cognitive scientists\, psychologists\, researchers in aging health and health care professionals.\nNetwork: Learn from one another and see what collaboration opportunities are available.\nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public.  Please email louise.dodd@mq.edu.au to register by  2.00pm Thursday  27 October 2016

SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Deafblindness Rehabilitation: How to base our practice on ...
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Walter Wittich\nDate: Monday 21 November 2016\nTime: 1.00pm – 2.30pm\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Audiology Seminar Room\, 1.64 \nAbstract: This presentation will provide a brief overview of the concept of Knowledge Translation\, using the model promoted by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research\, and then applies this model to the existing approaches\, knowledge and research literature. The talk will review some of the pertinent research findings in the field of deafblindness rehabilitation\, and how this knowledge can link to and influence rehabilitation practice for clinicians working with individuals affected by combined vision and hearing loss. \nBio: Dr. Walter Wittich is an Assistant Professor at the School of Optometry at the University of Montreal\, in Montreal\, Quebec\, who currently holds a Junior Career Award from the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (chercheur boursier junior 1)\, with specific focus on the rehabilitation of older adults with combined vision and hearing loss. He is a resident researcher at both the MAB-Mackay Rehabilitation Centre and the Institut Nazareth et Louis-Braille\, and holds an appointment as Adjunct Professor at the School of Occupational and Physical Therapy at McGill University. Following his Master’s in Psychology (Concordia U) and a PhD in Visual Neuroscience (McGill)\, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in audiology at the Centre de recherche institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal. Coming from a background in age related vision loss\, he now conducts research in dual sensory impairment and acquired deaf-blindness. His research domains include basic sensory science\, as well as medical\, psychosocial\, and rehabilitation approaches to sensory loss. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and is Quebec’s first Certified Low Vision Therapist. \nWho should come:  Hearing\, speech and language researchers and clinicians\, cognitive scientists\, psychologists\, researchers in ageing health and health care professionals.\nNetwork: Learn from one another and see what collaboration opportunities are available.\nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public.  Please email louise.dodd@mq.edu.au to register by  12.00pm Wednesday  16 November 2016

SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Consequences of Asymmetric Hearing in Development:  Evidence ...
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Karen Gordon\nDate: Thursday 3 November 2016\nTime: 3.00pm – 4.30pm\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre \nAbstract: Our aim is to promote binaural hearing in children which supports listening in most social and academic settings.  Studies of children using cochlear implants unilaterally\, bilaterally or in combination with hearing aids (bimodally) reveals: 1) delayed access to bilateral hearing results in an aural preference syndrome which deters binaural hearing; and 2) bilateral input with minimal delay supports expected responses from auditory cortices; but also that 3) binaural integration is not yet achieved by two independent auditory prostheses. \nBio: Karen Gordon\, PhD\, is a Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology and a Graduate Faculty Member in the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto.  She is Director of Research in Archie’s Cochlear Implant Laboratory and holds the Bastable-Potts Health Clinician Scientist Award in Hearing Impairment and Cochlear Americas Chair of Auditory Development. Karen’s research focuses on auditory development in children who are deaf and use auditory prostheses including cochlear implants.  The following questions are asked: 1) What aspects of auditory and vestibular development are arrested in children with hearing loss; 2) What changes in the auditory and vestibular system occur during the period of deafness; 3) To what extent can auditory and vestibular plasticity and development be promoted by cochlear implant use?; and 4) what compensatory mechanisms in development can be exploited to make up for deficits in input from auditory prostheses? To answer these questions\, we use both behavioural and electrophysiological measures and are interested in innovations in cochlear implant design and programming which seek to improve the resilience of the device as well as to preserve residual hearing and binaural cues. \nWho should come:  hearing\, speech and language researchers and clinicians\, cognitive scientists\, psychologists\, researchers in aging health and health care professionals.\nNetwork: Learn from one another and see what collaboration opportunities are available.\nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public.  Please email louise.dodd@mq.edu.au to register by  12.00pm Tuesday  1 November 2016
