A little delayed but I am happy to announce that we earlier this year we were awarded the American Auditory Society Editor’s Award for Outstanding Research in Audiology and the Hearing Sciences.

The award was given for the paper Resting-State Functional Connectivity Predicts Cochlear-Implant Speech Outcomes this paper was part of Jamal’s PhD work at the Bionics Institute so was a nice way to finish his PhD. It was also particularly nice that our paper was picked out particularly as being an outstanding example of the sort of work that not only advances our basic understanding of hearing and balance but also seek to translate that knowledge into future clinical practice. We always try to produce research that will also make a real impact so it’s nice to have that recognised.
