Subject: [AUDITORY] Setting Priorities in Hearing Research: last chance to have your say From: Frederick Gallun <fgallun@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2024 15:40:18 -0800--0000000000009eae7a06292f5c0a Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Auditory Community Members, We are in the final month of asking what YOU want to see prioritized in Auditory Research! Have you told us what you think is most important to put our resources to for the field to advance in the coming years? You may remember that we collected your feedback on what you think research priorities should be and what current obstacles to advancement are and based on this developed 36 priority areas. If you want to know how we came up with the top 36 priority areas as well as how folks have ranked them so far (and ask yourself if you agree??), check out our website: https://acoustics.ac.uk/international-priorities-in-hearing-survey/. If you want to contribute to this priority ranking exercise and make sure that your voice is heard, please click here to go straight to the survey: *https://tinyurl.com/hearingranking* <https://tinyurl.com/hearingranking> We strongly recommend using a computer, as the click and drag interface is a bit difficult to get the hang of on a phone or tablet. Why is it so important for YOU to fill out the survey? 1. We aim to make these priorities accessible to everyone by publishing the results in a peer-reviewed open-access format, which we feel would benefit many in the field when talking with funders / policy makers / commissioners. 2. In order to represent the international hearing research community best we need the priority list to be as representative of the international auditory research landscape as possible and would like to encourage researchers from all continents to take part. 3. The voting ends on December 31st, 2024! Thank you, and please don=E2=80=99t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or have any difficulties with the survey.
