President and Chair:<\/strong> Sunil Puria<\/span><\/p>\n ARO was founded in 1973 and yet we have not had a Presidential Symposium dedicated to hearing aids. Hearing aids are the standard of care for most people withvsensory neural hearing loss. With over 20 million devices in annual global sales, this number is expected to grow significantly in the coming decade. As I am the Chair of the International Hearing-Aid Research Conference (IHCON), it is only fitting that we dedicate this year\u2019s Presidential Symposium to hearing aids. We have an amazing set of six speakers with an arc spanning from its rich history to its future. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_heading title=\"2024\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" title_font=\"|700|||||||\" title_text_color=\"#093049\" title_font_size=\"40px\" title_letter_spacing=\"4px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_video src=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/o4BrBLUdHuY\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]<\/p>\n President and Chair:<\/strong> Dr. Yuri Agrawal<\/span><\/p>\n This symposium focused on clinician-scientists who are professionally trained in both clinical practice and scientific research. Clinician-scientists occupy a unique position in the biomedical enterprise with their regular interactions with patients as well as their leadership in research. This position offers critical opportunities for translational impact with significant potential benefits to patients. This symposium reviews trends in the current clinician-scientist workforce in Otolaryngology and discusses the challenges faced by clinician-scientists across their career arc (from medical school to residency to early to mid-faculty years). It explores the role of ongoing and novel programs designed to support the clinician-scientist from the perspective of relevant stakeholders, including junior and senior clinician-scientists, the training program director, the basic science collaborator, the Department director, and the NIDCD director. The goal of the symposium is to articulate a comprehensive strategy to support and sustain the clinician-scientist workforce.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_heading title=\"2023\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" title_font=\"|700|||||||\" title_text_color=\"#093049\" title_font_size=\"40px\" title_letter_spacing=\"4px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_video src=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6YfaG8QlJVs?si=C0bOEEwHEcUXawbV\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p>\n President and Chair:<\/strong> Dr. Elizabeth Olson<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n T<\/span>his symposium is meant to convey the basic wonder of the ear and of how the ear and brain together provide our sense of hearing.

Similarly, adults who lose their hearing after communicating using spoken language have numerous challenges understanding speech and integrating into social situations. These challenges are particularly significant in noisy situations, where multiple sound sources often arrive at the ears from various directions. Intervention with hearing aids and\/or cochlear implants (CIs) has proven to be highly successful for restoring some aspects of communication, including speech understanding and language acquisition. However, there is also typically a notable gap in outcomes relative to normal-hearing listeners. Importantly, auditory abilities operate in the context of how hearing integrates with other senses. Notably, the visual system is tightly couples to the auditory system. Vision is known to impact auditory perception and neural mechanisms in vision and audition are tightly coupled, thus, in order to understand how we hear and how CIs affect auditory perception we must consider the integrative effects across these senses. We start with Rebecca Alexander, a compelling public speaker who has been living with Usher\u2019s Syndrome, a genetic disorder found in tens of thousands of people, causing both deafness and blindness in humans.
