SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Hearing Loss\, Aging\, and Public Health
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpeaker: Professor Frank Lin \nDate: Friday 10 May\nTime: 9.00am – 10.00am\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre \nAgenda:\n9.00am – 9.05am – Welcome\n9.05am – 9.45am – Presentation\n9.45am – 10.00am – Q & A \nAbstract:\nMedicine and public health have evolved through three eras over the past century. Beginning in the first half of the 20th century\, infectious diseases were controlled for the first time in human history through vaccinations\, hygiene\, and other strategies. Subsequently\, throughout the 20th century\, chronic diseases of middle and later life (e.g.\, cardiovascular disease\, cancers) became the leading causes of mortality but have also increasingly been better controlled. These successes of public health have led to a rapidly increasing population of older adults living longer than ever before. In this third era of public health\, we are now confronting the challenge of aging and how to best optimize the health and functioning of a growing population of older adults. In this era\, hearing and our ability to engage effectively with the environment around us are critically important but not yet priorities in the spheres of public health and public policy. \nI will discuss research over the past several years that has demonstrated the broad implications of hearing loss for the health and functioning of older adults\, particularly with respect to cognitive functioning\, brain aging\, and dementia. I will then discuss how this epidemiologic research has directly informed and led to current national initiatives focused on hearing loss and public health. These initiatives include the Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders (ACHIEVE) randomized controlled trial\, the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017\, and the development of novel accessible and affordable approaches to hearing care delivery. \nBio:\nFrank R. Lin\, M.D.\, Ph.D. is the director of the Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health and a Professor of Otolaryngology\, Medicine\, Mental Health\, and Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Lin completed his medical education\, residency in Otolaryngology\, and Ph.D. in Clinical Investigation\, all at Johns Hopkins. He completed further otologic fellowship training in Lucerne\, Switzerland. Dr. Lin’s clinical practice is dedicated to otology and the medical and surgical management of hearing loss. His public health research focuses on understanding how hearing loss affects the health and functioning of older adults and the strategies and policies needed to mitigate these effects. From 2014-2016\, Lin led initiatives with the National Academies of Science\, Engineering\, and Medicine (workshop\, consensus study)\, the White House President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST)\, and Congress that resulted in passage of the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017 which overturned 40 years of established regulatory precedent in the U.S. This federal law reflects the direct result of his prior research and broader policy work around hearing loss and public health. He currently serves as a member of the Board on Health Sciences Policy at the National Academies.  As the director of the Cochlear Center\, he oversees over $30 million in committed NIH and philanthropic funding dedicated to advancing the mission areas of the Center. \nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public. \nPlease register by Tuesday 7 May 2019 to louise.dodd@mq.edu.au

SUMMARY:AHH seminar: The Cochlear Implant: from research curiosity to routine ...
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Jim Patrick AO FTSE\nDate: Monday 24 June\nTime: 1.00pm – 2.30pm\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre  \nAgenda:\n1.00pm – 1.05pm – Welcome\n1.05pm – 1.45pm – Presentation\n1.45pm – 2.00pm – Q & A\n2.00pm – 2.30pm – Networking & Refreshments \nAbstract:  \nThe cochlear implant is today an established treatment for severe to profound hearing loss\, for people of all ages. This presentation will describe my journey over the past forty years\, from the early research studies with Professor Graeme Clark’s multidisciplinary team at the University of Melbourne to product development and enhancement with evolving science and technology by Cochlear Limited and partners around the world. It will include a high level view of many of the activities that were needed to bring this novel implantable medical device to market\, and some of the issues that needed to be addressed along the way. \nKey aspects of the early work were safety studies that proved that the auditory nerve could be stimulated electrically without damage and psychophysical studies with a volunteer research subject that led to the development of the first speech coding strategy.  Funding from the Australian Government then led to the establishment of the Cochlear project by the company Nucleus Limited. \nThe development of the initial Cochlear device was completed in just 13 months\, followed by clinical trials in Australia and then the US and Europe. Important connections were established with Key Opinion Leaders in Audiology and Otology as well as with the Regulatory Agencies.  Before this time the professionals in the field were generally quite sceptical about possible benefit that could be provided by the cochlear implant\, but their personal experiences and those of their patients transformed this scepticism to universal support. \nThe presentation will describe how sustained research and technology development have since improved recipient outcomes and device usability\, together device reliability. It will illustrate how a medical device company can work closely with academic research partners to resolve important scientific and clinical questions. \n  \nBio:\nProfessor Jim Patrick AO FTSE  is one of the original engineers who pioneered the development of the multichannel cochlear implant with Professor Graeme Clark. He is recognised as a world authority on cochlear implants. \nHe joined Professor Clark’s research team at The University of Melbourne in 1975. In 1981\, after the first successful human implants were concluded\, he moved to Sydney as a key member of the original three-man team\, devoted to developing a ‘clinically applicable’ cochlear implant. \nHe was responsible for systems engineering and the digital aspects of the implantable stimulator\, playing a key leadership role in the development of the commercial medical implant. Since then he has been a member of Cochlear Limited’s senior management team\, holding a number of technology management roles\, including responsibility for R&D\, Quality and Manufacturing. Since retiring at the end of 2016\, he has taken on a consulting role at Cochlear Limited with the title Chief Scientist – Emeritus. \nToday\, Cochlear Limited is a global company\, with annual sales of more than $1 billion\, more than 3000 employees\, direct sales in more than 20 countries and distributor sales in more than 100 countries\, and research centres in all continents. Cochlear has a global share of the cochlear implant market of more than 60 per cent. \n  \nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public. \nPlease register by Wednesday 19 June 2019 to louise.dodd@mq.edu.au \n  \nTo view other up and coming AHH member events please go to: http://hearinghub.edu.au/events/ \n
