Dr Carrie Newbold is the Project Leader of HEARing CRC project R3.2.1 Optimisation of electro-neural interface. Carrie has recently been talking about her work to Dr Nadine Crowe from The University of Melbourne, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences - Faculty Research Unit.

Fine-tuning "The Gift of Sound" is a brief news piece that appears on the Department's website describing how normal hearing works and how cochlear implants can be used to enable individuals with hearing loss to regain this sense. Carrie also describes her work within the HEARing CRC and outlines how this may impact on future generations of implants and implant users.
