Introduction:

Collection Size :

Collection Dates : 1967 - 1990

The Australian Science Archives Project was engaged by the Museum of Victoria IN 1989 to prepare the records and artifacts relating to the development of the Bionic Ear for permanent deposit in the with the Museum. The work was done on-site at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital on a part-time basis from May 1989 until July 1990 when a shortage of funds caused work to be halted. In 1992 further funds became available, allowing the indexing of the draft listing, as well as a complete stocktake and reboxing of the paper records component of the collection

The following guide represents the work done up to date. It is to be regarded as a draft, interim document for use by all parties concerned. Corrections to the text of the document would be appreciated so that they can eventually be incorporated into the final guide.

Note: This Guide contains a summary of the historical background to the project (pp 3), a Table of Contents and record series summary (pp 4-6), the detailed description of the files (pp 7-80), and an Index. Throughout the Guide the `File Title' is, as close as possible, a transcription of the title given by the creator of the file. Extra description of the file is given in square brackets. The File descriptions and Index are a guide to the collection and not a comprehensive reflection of its contents.


Historical Background:

1967 - 1973 : Basic Research
1967-1969 - University of Sydney

Period of initial research and formulation of ideas. Graeme Clark does his PhD at the University of Sydney. Basic work on the implant (acute experiments).

1970-1973 - University of Melbourne

Continuation of initial research particularly behavioural and biological experiments. Establishment of the Department of Otolaryngology and School of Audiology at the University of Melbourne, based at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, 32 Gisborne Street, East Melbourne.

1973 - 1977 : Engineering of Prototype Implant

Obtained charitable funding particularly from Lions International and form the `Telethon'. Some research funds came from the National Health and Medical Research Council.

Engineering and safety studies on the prototype of bionic ear (1972-1978)

1978 - 1980 : Evaluation of the Prototype and the Discovery that it Worked

Department of Productivity Phase 1

The Federal Government was approached in particular Malcolm Fraser and Ian McPhee, and research funding in the form of a Public Interest Grant was issued. Also further funds came from the National Health and Medical Research Council.

Prototype evaluation involved the testing of the bionic ear and the discovery of how to understand speech. Therefore the development of a Speech Processing Strategy. In 1979 three patients were implanted with prototype 10 cahnnel devices.

1980 - 1985 : Development of the Device for Commercial Trials and Approval as Safe and Effective by the United States Food and Drug Administration

Department of Productivity Phase 2

1980-1982 - Search for industrial partner and the development of the device for clinical trials by the FDA.

1982 - Clinical trial of the device. Trials enlarged to other centres.

1982-1985 - Clinical trials of the device and safety studies in order to obtain FDA approval which was granted on 15 October 1985.

1985 - : Further research and development to improve the product and increase product penetration and spin-offs.

The device was developed for other groups for example children. Also there was the development of the tickle talker and the multimodal stimulator.
