SUMMARY:ARO Seminar Series - Auditory Nerve - The Coding of Acoustic Information in Normal and Damaged Ears Presented by Dr. Charles Liberman
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Join ARO and the ARO Education Committee for our newest Seminar Series exploring the Auditory Nerve. \nWe’re thrilled to kick off this enlightening series with the first featured talk: \n“Auditory-Nerve Response - The Coding of Acoustic Information in Normal and Damaged Ears” \nPresented by Dr. Charles Liberman \nThe session will be moderated by Dr. Kirupa Suthakar. \n📅 Date: Wednesday\, April 8\, 2026 \n🕛 Time: 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET USA \nRegistration Required to attend: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/fVgFUsCJTditl3wbDgfDLA \nCharles Liberman\, PhD \nEaton-Peabody Laboratories\, \nMass Eye and Ear \nDepartment of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery\, Harvard Medical School \nDr. Liberman is the Harold F. Schuknecht Professor of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at the Harvard Medical School and the former Director of the Eaton-Peabody Laboratories at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear (1997 – 2022). He received his B.A. in Biology from Harvard College in 1972 and his Ph.D. in Physiology from Harvard Medical School in 1976\, working with Nelson Kiang on the responses of single auditory-nerve fibers in normal and noise-damaged ears. Following his thesis work\, he did a post-doctoral stint with Sanford Palay in the Anatomy Department at Harvard performing a serial-section ultrastructural analysis of the normal synaptic connections between auditory-nerve terminals and inner hair cells. He has published over 215 papers on a variety of topics in auditory neuroscience and has received a number of awards including the Award of Merit from the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (2009)\, the Bekesy Silver Medal from the Acoustical Society of America (2012) and the Grand Prix Scientifique from the Fondation pour l’Audition (2022). His research interests include 1) the coding of acoustic stimuli as neural responses in the auditory nerve\, 2) efferent feedback control of the auditory periphery\, 3) the mechanisms underlying noise-induced and age-related hearing loss\, 4) the signaling pathways mediating nerve survival in the inner ear and 5) the application of viral- and drug-based therapies to the repair of a damaged inner ear.
