SUMMARY:Bringing Hearing to the Deaf\, Physics Department Colloquium\,
  Ian Shipsey\, Purdue University
DESCRIPTION:Cochlear implants are the first device to successfully res
 tore neural function. They have instigated a popular but controversial
  revolution in the treatment of deafness\, and they serve as a model f
 or research in neuroscience and biomedical engineering. In this talk t
 he physiology of natural hearing will be reviewed from the perspective
  of a physicist\, and the function of cochlear implants will be descri
 bed in the context of historical treatments\, electrical engineering\,
  psychophysics\, clinical evaluation of efficacy and personal experien
 ce. The social implications of cochlear implantation and the future ou
 tlook for auditory prostheses will also be discussed.
