PROF BLAKE S WILSON
Director
Duke Hearing Center
Duke University Medical Center (DUMC)
Chair, Lancet Commission on Global Hearing Loss
USA​
​
Prof. Wilson is the Director of the Duke Hearing Center and is an Adjunct or Consulting Professor in each of three departments at Duke: Surgery, Biomedical Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering. He also is the Chief Strategy Advisor for MED-EL GmbH in Innsbruck, Austria, and an Adjunct or Honorary Professor at the University of Warwick in the UK and at the University of Texas at Dallas. He has been involved in the development of the cochlear implant (CI) for more than three decades, and is the inventor of many of the signal processing strategies used with the present-day CIs. One of his papers, in the
journal Nature, is the most cited publication in the CI field. He or he and his teams or colleagues have been recognized with a high number of awards and honors, most notably the 2015 Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ Prize, “for engineering cochlear implants that allow the deaf to hear,” and the 2013 Lasker~DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award, “for the development of the modern cochlear implant.” The Russ Prize is the world’s top award for bioengineering and the Lasker Awards are second only to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for recognizing advances in medicine and medical science. Prof. Wilson is a member of the USA’s National Academy of Engineering and is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Acoustical Society of America, and the National Academy of Inventors. His degrees include a Ph.D. and two higher doctorates in science and engineering, plus two honorary doctorates in medicine. His most recent activities include service as the Chair of a new Lancet Commission on Hearing Loss, whose vision is to provide a path toward a world in which hearing loss is no longer a barrier to human communication and fulfillment.
