Cochlear Graeme Clark Scholarship UCL

September 8, 2008

Professor Graeme Clark is the Professor of the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Melbourne.

His lifelong commitment to finding a solution for the hearing impaired has resulted in a revolution not only for those with a profound hearing loss but also their family and friends.
