Event: World Hearing Day 2026 - 3rd of March!

World Hearing Day 2026 - 3rd March! 

World Hearing Day 2026 is this week - on Tuesday, 3rd of March. 

Every year, we participate to raise awareness of the importance of ear care and hearing health locally. This year, we will be part of the student club expo happening on the same day, to have some presence at the University of Auckland, Grafton campus  (85 Park Avenue, Grafton, Auckland). 


We will have some interactive displays, a free New Zealand sign language workshop, as well as information about World Hearing Day, and what else is happening around Aotearoa New Zealand, run by other groups working in ear health/ research/disability support sectors. 


If you are around the Grafton campus of the University of Auckland, or are a student and planning to visit the student expo, please come and find us there!

Update: Translational Ear Physiology Blog & Facebook Live

Update: Translational Ear Physiology Blog & Facebook Live To help public visibilty and open sharing of science, we have setup a blog and facebook page for the translational ear physiology lab and team. We hope this will help us share exciting progress we are making, and celebrate the progress of science with broader audience.  We hope to provide some updates, celebrations, upcoming events (e.g. open seminars, outreach or conferences we might be participating), recruitment opportunities (e.g. new postgraduate students project and scholarship opportunities when available through the University) through the blog and website.  Websites: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Translational-Ear-Physiology-Lab/61581392826252/   Blog: www.earphysiology.com

Merry Christmas from the Translational Ear Physiology Team

Merry Christmas from the Translational Ear Physiology Team. Merry Christmas from the Translational Ear Physiology Team! I wanted to share a short end-of-year message and to thank you for your support throughout 2025. This year has been busy, but in a good way. We celebrated a major milestone with a PhD student completing their degree, welcomed new Master’s students into the lab, and towards the end of the year we were joined by summer students who brought great energy and curiosity. Behind the scenes, our research has continued to progress steadily, including encouraging data coming through from our sheep experiments. Everyone has worked incredibly hard, and it has been a genuinely productive year.We were also active beyond the lab, with community engagement work that helps connect our research to the wider world and keeps us grounded in the people and communities we aim to serve. What I am most proud of, though, is our team culture. The group has been working together beautifully, ...

Welcome to our summer students 2025-2026!!

Welcome to our summer students 2025-2026!! Each summer, the Translational Ear Physiology Team aims to host undergraduate summer students, and we are delighted to welcome three students for this year’s programme. We are excited to host Sherlly Christine (University of Auckland Summer Research Scholarship), Alizée Fisher (University of Auckland Summer Research Scholarship), and Jude Anderson (Te Titoki Mataora Pacific Summer Studentship Scholarship). Summer studentships are a fantastic way for undergraduate students to gain hands-on experience in research, learn how a lab team works day to day, and contribute to projects that support our wider goals in hearing and inner ear biology. All three students will be embedded in team-based research projects at the University of Auckland. Sherlly’s project focuses on the cochlear aqueduct, including identifying and characterising this structure. Alizée’s project will explore the shape and anatomical features of the oval window. Jude’s project ...
