Homira hopes to continue her pursuit of\u00a0translational science by using patient interactions and outcomes to drive her research questions and ultimately improve the quality of life of children and adults with hearing loss.<\/p>\n<p>Homira currently serves on the\u00a0Canadian Academy of Audiology Scientific Education\u00a0Committee and American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Convention Program Committee (Intervention\/Rehabilitation for Adults with Hearing Loss, Tinnitus, and Balance Disorders).\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\"width:20px;height:20px; \"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<section class=\"shortcode-teaser img-full\"><div class=\"layzr-bg shortcode-teaser-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-load\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039; viewBox%3D&#039;0 0 3460 3456&#039;%2F%3E\" width=\"3460\" height=\"3456\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/lab.research.sickkids.ca\/archies-cochlear-implant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2017\/11\/Viji_SK-e1686590527497.jpg 3460w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lab.research.sickkids.ca\/archies-cochlear-implant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2017\/11\/Viji_SK-e1686590527497.jpg\" \/><\/div><div class=\"shortcode-teaser-content text-normal\"><h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #002058\"><strong>Vijayalakshmi Easwar <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center\">BSc, MSc, PhD, Reg.

After completing Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery training at Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital in 2011, he worked as an otologist at Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital and Kyoto University in Japan. In his clinical work, he focused on cochlear implantation in deaf children and investigated patients with conditions such as congenital cytomegalovirus infection, inner ear malformations, and cochlear implant device failure, which affects cochlear implant outcomes. He believes that appropriate management of these conditions are essential to maximize hearing outcomes and language development in deaf children. He is interested in objective measurements of brain development and maturation after cochlear implantation.

She joined the Cochlear Implant Lab in 2012 after working as an audiologist at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta. While working clinically, Melissa actively participated in clinical research on telehealth audiology, diagnostic measures in infants and children, as well as hearing aid outcomes in children as part of The Network of Pediatric Audiologists of Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Melissa completed her Master\u2019s of Clinical Science in Audiology at the National Centre for Audiology\u00a0at The University of Western Ontario. Under supervision from Dr. Susan Scollie and Dr. Richard Seewald, she evaluated speech production of children with high frequency hearing loss who use nonlinear frequency compression hearing aids, and evaluated a hearing aid prescription algorithm for use in adults. Melissa also completed her Bachelor of Medical Sciences (Honours) from the University of Western Ontario in the Schulich School of Medicine &amp; Dentistry. She completed her thesis on the regulation of gonadotropin releasing hormone type I receptor (GnRH-RI) activity during placentation in humans with Dr. Andy Babwah.<\/p>\n<p>Melissa\u2019s research interests involve auditory development and binaural hearing in children with asymmetric hearing loss who use both a cochlear implant and a hearing aid (bimodal hearing) to hear. She is also evaluating the functional benefit of bimodal listening for music perception.

Ellen\u2019s academic career started with a Bachelor of Science with honours in Neuroscience at Carleton University focusing on the neural basis of sensory processes. She then went on to complete a Master of Clinical Science in Audiology at Western University, where she was actively involved in her department and student body. She completed her final placement in Winnipeg, MB where she worked with both adults and children with cochlear implants from all corners of the province of Manitoba. She is now a registered audiologist in the province of Ontario.<\/p>\n<p>Ellen\u2019s research project looks at coordinating the left and right cochlear implant for children with two cochlear implants to ensure balance in level and frequency between the two ears.
