Andy J Beynon is director of the Vestibular & Auditory Evoked Potential Lab at Radboud University Medical Center Nijmegen and co-founder of the Nijmegen Cochlear Implant (1986) and Bone-Anchored-Hearing-Aid Programs (1988).

In 1985, he developed the first auditory CI assessment for Dutch-language at ORL Research Lab (Antwerp University, Belgium). Specializing in Clinical Neurophysiology at Queens Medical Center (Nottingham, UK), he received his PhD degree at Medical Faculty Radboud University Nijmegen (NL) on Auditory Electrophysiology, electrically-evoked cognitive potentials in 2005, after which he set up a research AEP-Lab at the ORL Dept of Radboud University Medical Center and expanded his clinical and research activities to the establishment of a new Vestibular Lab in 2010, since then running both laboratories at Radboud UMC Nijmegen.

At the moment, he is a senior research audiologist-vestibulologist, member of university examination board and professor at Radboud University (Faculties Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Linguistics, Cognitive Neurosciences), invited professor for (inter)national courses on auditory electrophysiology, visiting/guest professor (e.g. University Ghent Belgium, University Santiago de Chile, doctor honoris causa University Bucharest Romania Fac Medicine & Pharmacy), president of IERASG, peer reviewer for international scientific journals, member of examination, advisory boards, manuscript committees and PhD jury’s, co-chair/organizer 7th International Symposium Objective Measures Auditory Implants, scientific faculty member Barany Society, academic editor J Audiol Res, J ORL Hear Balance Medicine, (co)authored >75 articles and supervised >75 MD/MSc/MA/PhD theses on audio-vestibular sciences.

Special interests: speech processing, oto-genetic audio-vestibular research, animal & human auditory electrophysiology, cochlear and vestibular implants.

Dr. Wafaa Abdel-Hay Mohamed El-Kholy is Professor Emeritus of Audio-vestibular Medicine, Oto-rhino-laryngology Dept., Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. She shared in the development of Arabic speech perception tests for adults and children and the Arabic computer-based program for remediation of children with auditory processing disorders. She is co-founder of rehabilitation center for pre-school hearing aid and cochlear implant users. She is board member of the International Association of Communication Sciences and Disorders (IALP) – Audiology Committee. She also holds membership in the International Association of Physicians in Audiology (IAPA) and the Egyptian Audio-Vestibular Medicine Association (EAVMA). She is reviewer in the Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose and Throat and Allied Sciences (EJENTAS) and the Egyptian Journal of Oto-rhino-laryngology (EJO). Her research focuses on speech-evoked potentials in children using cochlear implants, those with central auditory processing disorders and/or language disorders. Her most recent research focuses on implementation of discrimination cortical evoked potentials, specifically the Acoustic Change Complex, in cochlear implant users and in children with auditory processing disorders. Moreover, she recently shared in the development of Arabic low-verbal material for central auditory abilities and low-verbal sentences-in-noise tests for young hearing-impaired children. Her current research focuses on the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in predicting performance in young cochlear implant children and evaluation of spatial listening in normal children, patients with SSD, and children with microtia. 

Mario Cebulla is Professor and Chief of experimental Audiology/Electrophysiology, Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck and Plastic Surgery, University of Wuerzburg, Germany. His research and clinical experiences are mainly focused on development of new acoustic stimuli and paradigms for optimization of recording and detection of auditory evoked responses.
