Prof Graeme M. Clark AC
Professor Graeme Clark’s discoveries led to the first multi-channel cochlear implant to bring hearing and speech effectively and safely to severely and profoundly deaf children.
In addition it is the first:
- Sensory-neural prosthesis to effectively and safely bring electronic technology into a direct physiological relation with the central nervous system and human consciousness
- Cochlear implant (“Bionic Ear”) to be used clinically to give speech understanding to profoundly deaf people and spoken language to children born deaf
- Implant to be shown to be safe with no greater risk of meningitis than in the general community, provided care is taken to prevent postoperative infection, and manage those with high risk factors
When developed industrially by the Australian firm Cochlear Ltd the multi-channel cochlear implant has brought hearing and speech understanding to some hundreds of thousands of severely-to-profoundly deaf people in more than countries. The implants have also made it possible for children born deaf to develop speech and language enabling them to communicate effectively in a world of sound.
His achievements were not previously thought possible as the cochlea is innervated by 10, to 20, neurons in a complex manner.
