Biography

Mark Lutman joined the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research in 1995 as Professor of Audiology from the Medical Research Council’s Institute of Hearing Research in Nottingham. He is head of the ISVR Hearing and Balance Centre, which includes the South of England Cochlear Implant Programme, and Deputy Head of ISVR with responsibility for education. He is an audiologist with main interests in research and teaching. He is President of the British Academy of Audiology (2007-2008). He has a BSc in Engineering Science (1971), MSc in Sound and Vibration (1972) and PhD in Audiology (1976), all from the University of Southampton. In 1989 he jointly established the first paediatric cochlear programme in the UK.

Research interests include: developing and evaluating processing algorithms for hearing aids and cochlear implants, measurement of cochlear function from otoacoustic emissions, neonatal hearing screening, cochlear implantation, psychoacoustics, epidemiology of hearing impairment and noise-induced hearing loss.
