Marshall Chasin, AuD, a longtime contributor and member of The Hearing Review editorial advisory board, is the recipient of this year’s Richard Seewald Career Award from the Canadian Academy of Audiology. This award recognizes a career in research, clinical practice, teaching, and mentoring young people. The candidate must have made significant contributions to the knowledge base, practice, and/or teaching of audiology or a related field and have had a long-term professional career.
Professor Richard Seewald was the long-time director of the National Centre for Audiology at Western University in Ontario, Canada, and the developer of the Desired Sensation Level (DSL) hearing aid fitting formula, especially for pediatric clients. Following in Richard’s footsteps, Chasin has had a clinical career where his research, mainly in the area of hearing loss prevention for musicians, has been translational.
“It is an honor to receive this award named in honor of my good friend and colleague, Richard Seewald, and to be recognized for many of the innovations and clinical approaches that are currently used with musicians and those in the performing arts,” Chasin said.
