Archie's Cochlear Implant Lab
The Hear Here Podcast is based out of the Archie's Cochlear Implant Lab at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. The show is hosted by Audiologist and senior scientist, Karen Gordon and co-hosted with Dr. Sharon Cushing and Dr. Blake Papsin, Otolaryngologists at the Hospital for Sick Children. The goal with these discussions is to explore new ideas that may help people use devices like cochlear implants to hear.
Dr. Hannah Stewart is a pediatric, cognitive auditory neuroscientist at Lancaster University and Dr. Carly Anderson is a Sir Henry Welcome Postdoctoral Research fellow at the University College London. The pair talk about life as early career researchers; research communication and their own podcast, Unscientific; as well as the importance of peer support in academia.
