Donation of $8.5 million strengthens hearing science and innovation
Western University's auditory research and innovation efforts have received a significant boost with a generous donation from the global hearing implant company MED-EL. The $8.5 million contribution will support the work of inaugural chair holders Dr. Sumit Agrawal and Hanif Ladak, PhD, who are distinguished leaders in translational hearing science. Drawing on their expertise in imaging technology, mathematics, biophysics, engineering, neurotology, and surgery, Ladak and Agrawal, as long-time research partners, are dedicated to advancing personalized cochlear implant programming by tailoring implant maps to accommodate the unique anatomy of each patient, departing from the conventional one-size-fits-all approach.
