SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Insertion techniques to preserve residual hearing
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Professor Arne Ernst\nDate: Wednesday 13 February 2019\nTime: 12.30pm – 2.00pm\nLocation: Level 1\, Lecture Theatre\, Australian Hearing Hub \nAgenda:\n12.30pm – 12.35pm –  Welcome\n12.35pm – 1.20pm – Presentation\n1.20pm – 1.30pm – Q & A\n1.30pm – 2.00pm – Networking and Refreshments \nAbstract:\nSeveral approaches have been undertaken over the last decade to preserve residual hearing. In\naddition to surgical approaches (e.g.\, round window insertion\, speed-of-insertion)\, device\nmodifications (electrode\, e.g.\, shape/diameter of the electrode) and others (e.g.\, drugs\, IOM) have\nbeen investigated.\nWhile the application of steroids in cochlear implantatology (e.g.\, Bento et al 2016\, Skarczynski et al.\n2018) has proven success\, new\, neuromodulatory approaches faile das yet in controlled\, clinical\ntrials.\nWe therefore have investigated over the last few years in detail which surgical modification can\nachieve the best result for preserving residual hearing.\nOur model/animal/TB and live experiments looked deeply into the insertion of the CI electrode with\nrespect to atraumaticity (round window vs. cochleostomy approach)\, reducing intracochlear pressure\nwaves (opening technique for the RW\, speed-of-insertion)\, sealing the cochlear opening and cable\npositioning (e.g.\, artificial material\, glue).\nThese results of different series will be summarized to guide the surgeon in their approaches of\nimproving cochlear implant service and actively promoting the preservation of residual hearing. \nBio: Arne Ernst\, MD\, PhD\nProfessor Arne Ernst is chairman of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at UKB\, Hospital of the University of Berlin\, Charite Medical School and a pioneer of the cochlear implant program in Germany.\nHe specialises in otology\, neurotology\, vestibular rehab\, and age-related audiovestibular disorders. \nHis clinical experience includes 250 papers in peer-reviews journals\, 8 textbooks on audiology\, otology\, and neurotology. He has been principal investigator in five large multicentre and multinational studies on iinner ear pharmacology related to hearing loss\, tinnitus\, preservation of residual hearing in CI\, and acute vertigo. \nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public. \nPlease register by Monday 11 February 2019 to Abel Anzaldo:  aanzaldo@cochlear.com

SUMMARY:Indigenous Hearing Health Symposium\, incorporating the 2019 Libby Harricks Memorial ...
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday 5 March\nTime: 9:00am – 1:30pm\nLocation: Macquarie University\, Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1 Lecture Theatre \nTo mark World Hearing Day and Hearing Awareness Week\, H:EAR  – Hearing Education Application Research\, Macquarie University and the Australian Hearing Hub  invite you to an Indigenous Hearing Health symposium on Tuesday 5 March 2019. \nThe event will open with the 2019 Libby Harricks Memorial Oration by Professor Andrew Smith (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine)\, and feature presentations by Professor Amanda Leach (Menzies School of Health Research)\, Dr Liesa Clague (Macquarie University) and Samantha Harkus (Australian Hearing). \nRates of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) among Aboriginal children living in remote areas in Australia are the highest in the world. (Leach\, A. (1999). Otitis media in Australian Aboriginal children: An overview. International Journal Of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology\, 49\, S173-S178.) \nThe symposium will present perspectives on current issues in public health planning and implementation\, Indigenous hearing health research\, education and service delivery. \nBringing together policy makers\, researchers\, clinicians\, educators and service providers to build knowledge and awareness\, we aim to identify the challenges and work towards potential solutions that can lead to better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. \nRegister now for this free event \nFor more information please contact Sally Piper: sally.piper@mq.edu.au \n————————————————————————————————————————————————– \nDeafness Forum of Australia and Audiology Australia present the annual Libby Harricks Memorial Oration. Since 1999\, the Oration series raises awareness of issues of hearing health\, deafness and ear and balance disorders. The series honours the memory of the late Libby Harricks AO\, the first President of Deafness Forum of Australia. For her work on behalf of hearing-impaired people\, Libby was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 1990. https://www.deafnessforum.org.au/events/libby-harricks-memorial-oration/

SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Music and Hearing Loss
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: A/Prof Alexandre Lehmann\, Chi Yhun Lo\, Remi Marchand\, Nille Elise Kepp\nDate: Thursday 28 February 2019\nTime: 2.00pm – 4.30pm\nLocation: Level 1\, Lecture Theatre 1.200\, Australian Hearing Hub \nAgenda:\n2.00pm – 2.30pm: A novel virtual reality test to explore spatial localization abilities\, musical pitch ranking abilities\, and low frequency residual hearing in 7 – 12-year old Danish children with hearing loss.  \nNille Elise Kepp (University of Copenhagen\, Decibel) \nThis presentation will consist of preliminary results and clinical experiences; and future directions exploring the potential associations between performance in musical timbre perception and spatial localisation abilities\, musical pitch ranking abilities\, and low frequency residual hearing. \n2.30pm – 3.00pm: Factors influencing enjoyment of music with hearing aids. \nRemi Marchand (The HEARing CRC\, Macquarie University) \nCurrently\, hearing aids (HAs) are adjusted to compensate for individual hearing loss primarily to maximise the clarity and comfort of speech. Electroacoustic characteristics and settings of HAs may be ideal for speech recognition\, but not for music enjoyment. Some aspects of the signal processing involved in HA design may interfere with the enjoyment of music. As an alternative to the standard fitting methods\, most of the manufacturers offer different processing programs for customers in need of a specific amplification for music. However\, recent studies suggested that these music programs may not improve significantly the experience of music listening and can still be optimized. \n3.00pm – 3.30pm: Beyond audition: the benefits of music for children with hearing loss. \nChi Yhun Lo (Macquarie University\, The HEARing CRC\, The ARC Centre for Cognition and its Disorders) \nThe benefits of music training are only beginning to be explored for children with hearing loss. While the focus has been primarily on auditory benefits\, music is well-noted for being a multisensory experience that places unique demands on motor skills\, cognition\, vision\, and audition. After 12-weeks of music training that consisted of face-to-face group based sessions supplemented by music apps; children with hearing loss improved in communication skills that extend beyond speech perception—highlighting the broader benefits of music participation. \n3.30pm – 4.00pm: Musical emotions in cochlear implant users. \nAlexandre Lehmann (McGill University\, International Laboratory for Brain\, Music and Sound Research\, and Centre for Research on Brain\, Language and Music)  \nThe most common reason for listening to music is its rich emotional content. With a cochlear implant (CI)\, a deaf person can hear again and learn to understand speech. But their ability to enjoy music or perceive emotions is dramatically altered\, partly because the sound signal is degraded\, and very different from acoustic hearing. This has far-reaching negative consequences\, because accurately perceiving emotions in language and music plays a crucial role for social development and integration\, communication\, employment prospects and overall quality of life. \nIn this talk\, I will address the following questions: \n\nHow accurate are implant users at perceiving auditory emotions?\nWhich auditory features best convey emotions through cochlear implants?\nHow do emotion-evoked brain responses differ between implant users and normal hearing controls?\n\n4.00pm – 4.30pm: Networking and Refreshments \nRegistration: Entry is free and open to the public. \nPlease register by Tuesday 26 February 2019 to Chi Lo  chi.lo@mq.edu.au
