Transforming Hearing Healthcare Through Translational Science with Sumit Dhar

This episode explores the promise of translational science through cross-campus, cross-school collaboration between NUCATS and a professor of communication at Northwestern, that could help the 48 million Americans with hearing loss. Along with his groundbreaking research into the physiology and the mechanics of the ear, Sumit Dhar, PhD, is turning his attention to hearing healthcare delivery and understanding why so few people seek hearing healthcare. With the help of NUCATS, he is exploring the idea of creating a clinical trial network for affordable hearing healthcare as well as other living documents and guidelines that will offer experts in his field a roadmap to making hearing healthcare more accessible and utilized.
