Reflections on progress in addressing the impact of hearing loss in Aotearoa and beyond
Professor Peter Thorne
Wednesday 16 July 2025, 6.00-7.30 pm
Lecture theatre 505-007, University of Auckland Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, 85 Park Road, Grafton, Auckland
RSVP: Professor Peter Thorne public lecture by 9 July
Hearing loss is a significant health issue affecting a large proportion of the population; the World Health Organisation estimates that over 430 million have a hearing loss that affects their lives and this number reaches about 400,000 in New Zealand. A lot of advances have been made to reduce the impact of hearing loss and to increase the provision of ear and hearing care services, in New Zealand and globally. In this talk, Peter will reflect on the period of his academic career at the University of Auckland, spanning over 40 years, and look at considerable advances in identification, interventions and prevention of hearing loss and global advocacy for ear and hearing care.

Quiz Time
Afternoon tea ... Afternoon Quiz ... Quiz Master, Paul Bushnell ...Sunday 10th March 2024
I had never heard about the ‘tangled web we weave’, however other people in the room all broke out into a chant to complete the line of the poem. Thanks to Paul Bushnell’s hypoglossal nerve, our quiz master took us smoothly through five rounds of questions. The neural machinery was churning when Paul delivered the ‘Health and the Body’ round of which the doctors in the room scored superbly.
