David R. Moore, PhD

I am the director of the Communication Sciences Research Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and a professor of otolaryngology and neuroscience at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Educated in Australia (PhD Monash University), I spent 22 years at the University of Oxford working on projects including auditory spatial hearing, the biology of deafness, and the consequences of otitis media. I became a professor of auditory neuroscience in 2000. As the director of the Medical Research Council Institute of Hearing Research, Nottingham (2002-12), I focused on auditory development and learning in humans. In 2008, I also co-founded the National Biomedical Research Unit in Hearing (NBRUH), which was refunded in 2012. I have been a visiting scientist at the University of California, Irvine, the University of Washington, Seattle, New York University, and Northwestern University, Chicago. I am currently a part-time professor of auditory neuroscience at the University of Manchester.

I was the founder of MindWeavers PLC, which created digital learning experiences based on world-leading brain science. In 2010, I was awarded the George Davey Howells prize of the Royal Society of Medicine for editing the “Oxford Handbook of Auditory Science." In 2015, I received the Career Award in Hearing or Balance from the American Academy of Audiology, and in 2016, I was the T.S. Littler Lecturer at the British Society of Audiology Annual Conference.
