Introduction
We bring together influential researchers and clinicians from across the world, all with a shared passion to understand hearing and a shared goal to cure hearing loss.
Priority Area Blocks
Hearing Therapeutics
Hearing loss affects millions of people, yet there are currently no medicines or cell-based treatments that can repair the inner ear damage that causes permanent hearing loss. At Ear Science Institute Australia, our researchers are exploring new therapies using stem cells, genebased approaches and medicines to protect and repair the delicate structures essential for hearing. This research aims to deliver future treatments that restore hearing and improve quality of life.
Hearing Devices and Implants
Ear Science partners with university, industry, and community to develop innovations in hearing devices to improve diagnostics and treatment in hearing healthcare. We believe we are only at the start of the journey of devices to improve hearing.
Hearing Outreach
Our Hearing Outreach team is active in improving ear and hearing health services for those who face barriers to accessing these services. The focus is on Aboriginal children and adults in the East Pilbara, and on selected international regions in association with the World Health Organization and nternational partners.
Surgical Science
Close collaboration between scientists and surgical clinicians is critical to translational success for the patient. Our team leads the development of drugs and device treatments for middle and inner ear disease.
