WORLDS FIRST BIONIC EAR - COCHLEAR IMPLANTS - 1978
Professor Graeme Clark invented the first bionic ear Melbourne University in the 1970s – the first prototype was implanted in a person in 1978.
Cochlear implants are devices that are implanted into the head to electronically stimulate the auditory nerve. Graeme’s motivation to advance hearing loss technology was spawned from his own father’s inadequate hearing.
So far, the Cochlear implant has brought hearing to more than 180,000 deaf and partially deaf people worldwide.

The Standard Motor Company product, the Triumph Mayflower Saloon from their Port Melbourne plant, produced from CKD (‘completely knocked down’) kits shipped from the UK.
One motoring journalist described it as “a family man's chariot” while a member of the public described it – rather harshly – as a "Slab Sided Tobacco Can.”
