Knowledge Translation from Research Labs to the Audiology Clinics: A Flow or Just a Trickle?
Bob Harrison muses about how the gap between audiological science and clinical audiology has not narrowed as much as he would have liked during his (45 year) career.
50 years of Audiology Research. Who Could Ask for Anything Moore?
Brian wrote his PhD thesis in 1971 and he is retiring at age 75? That would be 50 years worth of new knowledge to the field of audiology. Well done! Who could ask for anything Moore?
The Virus and Hearing Loss
With the whole world fixated on the viral epidemic, it is timely to remind ourselves about viral infections that can cause hearing loss.
