The Work of Graeme Clark
Professor Graeme Clark is the foundation Professor of the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Melbourne.  The pioneering work of his University Department led to the first research implant ‘bionic ear’ being ‘switched on’ in 1978 and the first Nucleus implant in 1982.  Professor Clark’s lifelong commitment to finding a solution for the hearing impaired has resulted in a revolution not only for those afflicted but also their family and friends.
