Welcome

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the 8th Objective Measures Symposium on Auditory Implants in Toronto.

Our theme is “Unique people, unique measures, unique solutions” reflecting our collective goal to achieve the best hearing for each person who needs auditory prostheses. Please join us in Toronto to explore the latest research on hearing loss, auditory implants, and auditory plasticity as we strive forward toward that goal.

We look forward to being your hosts in Toronto. We are proud Canadians and will introduce you to our wonderful city. The meeting will be held at the Hilton Toronto (downtown), steps away from our opera house, concert hall, multiple theatres, art gallery, museums, and multiple shops and restaurants. Up the road from the hotel is The Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto where we spend much of our time. Down the road, you will find our wonderful waterfront. This is an easy city to travel to and we hope you’ll enjoy its multi-cultural nature as much as we do.

October is a great time to come. There is no snow, with temperatures around 15-20 Celsius, and the maple leaves are just starting to turn red.

See you in 2014,

Blake Papsin    Karen Gordon
