 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (AG Bell) requests support for three research symposia to be held biennially through 2020. Presenting translational research on hearing loss to diverse audiences directly supports AG Bell's mission of Advancing Listening and Spoken Language for Individuals who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The goal of these symposia, associated with the biannual meeting (2016, 2018, 2020) of AG Bell is to bring together individuals with hearing loss and family members, clinicians and hearing researchers for informative presentations of the latest scientific results and clinical approaches. The primary goal is to inform researchers and those involved with practical implementation of interventions, of the most pressing therapeutic/rehabilitative needs and current scientific findings, respectively. AG Bell is a highly respected national organization when it comes to listening and spoken language education. The association has a strong track record of producing high quality conferences/scientific meetings that are relevant to the scientific mission of the NIH and to public health. Research in the field f auditory development, function and dysfunction is of great interest to parents, individuals with hearing loss, professionals and researchers in the hearing health field. The specific aims are to: (1) Promote evidence-based strategies for optimal development for individuals with hearing loss. (2) Build capacity within families and the professional community to empower them in helping children with hearing loss reach their full potential. (3) Plan, direct and execute three research symposia on hearing loss attracting diverse audiences. The three research symposia will focus on the following research topics on hearing loss: 2016: Neuroimaging - Predicting Hearing and Language Outcomes, Denver, CO, Sunday, July 3. Scientists will share their findings in this area and their theories about how those findings could predict speech, language and hearing outcomes following specific interventions to address hearing loss. 2018: The Binaural Brain: How It Perceives Language and Challenges to Auditory Processing, Scottsdale, AZ, Sunday, July1. Understanding how the human brain perceives and utilizes spoken language and binaural hearing with technological advances that allow for better access to hearing. 2020: Thirty Years of NIDCD's Research Manifested in the Success of the Next Generation of Deaf Researchers. Location and Date: TBD Conducted by researchers who are deaf or hard of hearing, a call for proposals will result in three to four presentations that will celebrate NIDCD' work and disseminate valuable research to symposium attendees.

 描述（由申请人提供）：亚历山大格雷厄姆贝尔聋人和听力困难协会（AG贝尔）要求支持三个研究研讨会每两年举行一次，直到2020年。向不同的受众展示听力损失的翻译研究直接支持AG Bell的使命，即为聋人和听力障碍者提高听力和口语水平。这些研讨会的目标与AG Bell一年两次的会议（2016年，2018年，2020年）相关联，旨在将听力损失患者和家庭成员，临床医生和听力研究人员聚集在一起，提供最新科学成果和临床方法的信息。主要目标是分别向研究人员和参与实际实施干预措施的人员通报最紧迫的治疗/康复需求和当前的科学发现。AG Bell是一家 在听力和口语教育方面，它是一个受人尊敬的国家组织。该协会在举办与NIH科学使命和公共卫生相关的高质量会议/科学会议方面有着良好的记录。听觉发育、功能和功能障碍领域的研究对父母、听力损失患者、听力健康领域的专业人员和研究人员都非常感兴趣。具体目标是：（1）促进听力损失患者最佳发展的循证策略。(2)在家庭和专业社区内建立能力，使他们能够帮助听力损失儿童充分发挥潜力。(3)计划、指导和举办三个听力损失研究研讨会，吸引不同的听众。三个研究研讨会将集中在以下听力损失的研究主题：2016：神经影像学-预测听力和语言结果，丹佛，CO，星期日，7月3日。科学家们将分享他们在这一领域的研究结果，以及他们关于这些研究结果如何预测特定干预措施治疗听力损失后的言语、语言和听力结果的理论。2018年：双耳大脑：它如何感知语言和听觉处理的挑战，斯科茨代尔，亚利桑那州，星期日，7月1日。了解人类大脑如何感知和利用口语和双耳听力，技术进步可以更好地获得听力。2020年：NIDCD研究的三十年体现在下一代聋人研究人员的成功。地点和日期：由失聪或听力困难的研究人员进行，征集建议将导致三到四个演讲，庆祝NIDCD的工作，并向研讨会与会者传播有价值的研究。
