The Bionic Ear Institute is a leader in medical bionics research, the interface between engineering and the human body.

We are applying our expertise in collaborative projects to create a new generation of bionic ears capable of hearing music, a bionic eye, drug delivery systems to prevent and reverse hearing loss and implantable devices to repair the spinal cord and treat epilespy

We create innovative solutions for the health of Australians and Australian research.
