Hearing and the Brain: Translating Research into Practice
Macquarie University/Australian Hearing Hub
Date: Friday 9th May, 2014
Time: 9:00am - 4:00pm
Venue: Australian Hearing Hub, Lecture Theatre, Level 1, 16 University Avenue, Macquarie University, Sydney Australia
This satellite symposium aims to provide clinicians and researchers in fields of audiology, gerontology and cognitive science with current information of the interaction between aging, cognition and hearing loss. International experts in this field will present their research and then engage in a panel discussion which will consider what further information is needed and what is the pathway to translation.
Speakers:
- A/Prof Frank R. Lin
- Prof Kelly Tremblay
- Prof Kathy Pichora-Fuller
- Prof David Ryugo
- A/Prof Blake Johnson

Speakers
Dr Frank R Lin, MD, PhD
Dr Frank R Lin is an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology, Geriatric Medicine, Mental Health, and Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr Lin's epidemiologic research focuses on how hearing loss impacts the health and functioning of older adults and the role of hearing rehabilitative strategies in potentially mitigating these effects.
Dr Kelly Tremblay
Dr Kelly Tremblay has been an audiologist for over 20 years and is currently a Professor of Audiology at the University of Washington, Seattle. Her commitment to advancing "translational research" is evident through her service: for years she co-wrote the Moment of Science series that appeared in Audiology Today, she serves on many planning committees as well as editorial boards, including a recent 5 year term for the journal "Ear and Hearing" and she recently edited a book series with Robert Burkard titled "Translational Perspectives in Auditory Neuroscience".
Dr Kathy Pichora - Fuller
Dr Kathy Pichora-Fuller is a Professor of Psychology at UTM. She is also an Adjunct Scientist at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, and at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest, and a Guest Professor in the Linneaus Centre for Hearing and Deafness Research at Linköping University in Sweden. She is the hearing expert for the Canadian Longitudinal Study of Aging and is now translating her lab-based research to address the needs of older adults who suffer from both hearing and cognitive impairments.
Dr David Ryugo
Dr David Ryugo is the Curran Foundation Professor of Auditory Neuroscience at the Garvan Institute and conjoint professor in the School of Medical Sciences at the University of New South Wales. His research, using animal models of hearing loss, focuses on mechanisms of hearing and brain changes consequent to hearing loss.
Dr Blake Johnson
Dr Blake Johnson is Associate Professor of Cognitive Science and Director of Research in Hearing and Cognition at Macquarie University. Dr Johnson research uses functional neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate the neural bases of cognition and its disorders. His current work examines auditory and cognitive brain function in cochlear implant recipients using a novel MEG instrument customised to cope with the strong artefacts produced by the implant device.

In Tune with Technology
This is the first event of its kind in the Asia-Pacific. Hear from world leading experts and discover new insights and research that you can apply in clinical practise or everyday life. The emphasis is on improving music enjoyment for current recipients with current devices, rather than on future technology. There will be panel discussions and opportunities to interact with these experts.
SUNDAY MAY 11 (half day) is open to professionals, implant recipients and their families. We will share lots of practical ideas on how recipients can improve their music listening and enjoyment.
MONDAY MAY 12 (full day) is for professionals only and will cover recent research and developments applicable to music appreciation, training, and clinical practise.
