Read "Sounds from Silence" the Bionic Ear story

As a child with a deaf father, Graeme Clark dreamed that one day he would find a way for people to hear. After leaving a career as an ear, nose & throat specialist, he returned to relative poverty as a research student to follow his vision for a Bionic Ear. Despite lack of funding and strong opposition from both the scientific and deaf communities, his grit and persistence over the last 30 years has led to more than 50,000 people around the world being fitted with the Bionic Ear. Don’t miss this moving and inspirational story of the joy that the gift of hearing can bring, of the impact that Australians can make on the world stage, and of the power of a vision. You can help Professor Clark’s team continue their quest to find new ways to help deaf people hear by ordering a copy of Sounds from Silence (PDF) today. To order by phone please call (03) 9667 7500. Royalties from the book, and a proportion of the proceeds from mail-order sales, will be donated to The Bionic Ear Institute to fund hearing research.
