Hearing Research Talks
In October 2025, Hearing Matters Australia has officially launched a compelling new video interview series - Hearing Research Talks - featuring powerful stories and community-driven innovations in the field of hearing.
With a mission to bridge the gap between researchers and the general public, the series offers meaningful insights into the complex and vital science of hearing.
Episode 1: Hearing Loss and Music
In the first episode of Hearing Research Talks, Phd Candidate, Lilly Leaver, interviews Dr. Chi Lo and Dr. William L. Martens exploring the intriguing connection between hearing loss and the perception of music. During their conversation, they share insights on how hearing challenges can influence musical experiences and explore exciting new research designed to help everyone enjoy music even more. This lively discussion sheds light on both the obstacles faced and the inspiring progress being made to make music more accessible to the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities.
Why You Should Tune In
This first episode serves not merely as an academic showcase, but as a deeply human conversation about innovation, resilience, and connection. It invites clinicians, researchers, and individuals interested in hearing health to explore fresh perspectives on accessibility, emotion, and sensory experience.
