The ‘Crystal Ear’ is a distinction awarded by Poznan University of Medical Sciences during the 4th Young Researchers Forum at the 8th symposium ‘Hearing Prosthetics in Medicine’.
The awards were presented by the Rector, Prof. Zbigniew Krasiński, and Prof. Dorota Chojan-Jezierska, Head of the Department of Hearing Prosthetics at Poznan University of Medical Sciences.
As the university authorities emphasise, the ‘Crystal Ear’ award recognises ‘an open heart for hearing care professionals’.
The committee awards this distinction to individuals and institutions that have made outstanding contributions to the creation and development of hearing prosthetics in Poland. Prof. Piotr H. Skarżyński discussed key elements of surgical innovation in treating various types of hearing loss, as well as the differences between electrical and acoustic hearing.
