Professor Graeme Clark, one of Australia’s greatest scientists and the pioneer of the bionic ear, will receive the CSL Florey Medal in a ceremony in Parliament House Canberra this evening. The CSL Florey Medal is awarded biennially to an Australian biomedical researcher for significant achievements in biomedical science and/or human health advancement. The award currently carries a prize of $50,000. This award was established in 1998 by the Australian Institute of Policy and science in honour of Australian Nobel Prize-winning scientist, Sir Howard Florey, who developed penicillin.
Professor Graeme Clark today also announced that he has accepted an appointment with NICTA, Australia’s national research centre of excellence in Information and Communication Technology. Based at NICTA’s Victoria Research Laboratory at the University of Melbourne, Professor Clark will continue his research in developing technologies capable of providing new types of hearing implants that can improve various aspects of auditory perception for hearing loss patients.

Air Méditerranée a refusé l'accès à un vol au départ de Marseille vers la Turquie à 18 personnes sourdes, une personne entendante et trois personnes mal-entendantes, à cause de leur handicap.
Dix-huit personnes sourdes, une personne entendante et trois personnes mal-entendantes se sont vu refuser l’embarquement d’un vol Air Méditerranée à destination de la Turquie à cause de leur handicap, a-t-on appris mercredi auprès de la fille de l’une d’elles, confirmant des informations de presse.
Ce groupe de 22 personnes partait en vacances en Turquie depuis l’aéroport de Marseille. Le vol étant prévu dans la nuit de dimanche à lundi à 5 heures du matin, "tout le groupe a pu enregistrer sans problème et leurs valises sont parties en soute", a expliqué à Fabienne Guiramand, interprète en langue des signes, dont la mère faisait partie du groupe.

September 2011 - Cochlear Limited is undertaking a voluntary recall of the unimplanted Cochlear™ Nucleus® CI500 Cochlear Implant range.
While less than 1% of Nucleus CI512 Implants have failed since launch in 2009, Cochlear has identified a recent increase in the number of Nucleus CI512 Implant failures. In an abundance of caution and with our recipients in mind, Cochlear has issued a voluntary recall of the Nucleus CI500 Range of cochlear implants while it further investigates the issue.
No implants outside the Cochlear Nucleus CI500 Range are affected by this voluntary recall including Nucleus Freedom™ Implants which remain available.
The Nucleus 5 external devices (Nucleus CP810 Sound Processor) and any previous generation sound processors are not affected by this recall.
It is important to note that all existing Nucleus CI512 Implant recipients can continue to use their system as normal.

La Reina Dña. Sofía presidió este jueves el acto de entrega de las condecoraciones de la Orden Civil de la Solidaridad Social 2010, que concede el Ministerio de Sanidad, Política Social e Igualdad.
La Orden Civil de la Solidaridad Social fue aprobada el 17 de abril de 1989, en sustitución de la antigua Orden de Beneficencia, y es una condecoración que se concede en reconocimiento a las personas que se hayan distinguido en la promoción o desarrollo de actividades y servicios relacionados con la solidaridad y la acción social, que hayan supuesto un beneficio al bienestar social.
Las condecoraciones de la Orden Civil de la Solidaridad Social se conceden en tres categorías: Gran Cruz, Cruz de Oro y Cruz de Plata.
La Federación de Asociaciones de Implantados Cocleares de España, Federación AICE, ha sido receptora de la Cruz de Plata de la Orden Civil de la Solidaridad Social "por su contribución a la divulgación de la información sobre el implante coclear en sus múltiples aspectos y por la defensa de los intereses de los implantados cocleares".
