 I feel very honored to have received an honorary doctorate of Uppsala University. However, it's not just a reward for me, it's for the entire team that's working daily on improving things for the professionals concerned with the cochlear implant and the users. Well, since we hired our first employees in 1990, science has always been at the heart of the company. And translational science is what it's all about. You need translational science from the basic research inquiry to reimbursement of devices and a lot in between. Yes, it allows us an uncompromising way to find the best solutions and only our users and the scientific partners and the clinical partners can be in our focus. Well, actually a lot has changed. We've come a long way from the early days where speech understanding only was in the focus. So now it's understanding in background noise, in difficult listening situations, it's enjoying music and understanding tone languages. It's better ease of use for the recipients and also for the professionals who have to deal with these therapies and these devices. But there is still a lot to do because in the entire world there are still many, many children who do not receive this therapy before the age of 5 and there are lots of adults and older adults who have not received these devices because maybe they don't have access to them. Oh, in the early days, I think Sweden started in the 80s, maybe in 1984 with the first patients coming to Vienna even. Together with Jörgen Breitberg. And then there was a consensus conference or something like that where Sweden asked researchers in the field on how to start and after that they established a welfare through cochlear implant program. Jörgen Breitberg also invented an electrode for ossified cochlear. And later on Eva Karldorp at Karolinska was a pioneer with very young children and with bilateral implantation in these children. And in Uppsala Helger Rask Andersen did a lot of great research in terms of the variety of individual cochleas in terms of shape and size and cochlear duct length. And immunohistochemistry of the inner ear, microanatomy looking into the detailed structures inside the inner ear and researching on how not to harm these structures and working on the combination of electrical and acoustical stimulation with higher degrees of hearing preservation and structure preservation. Curiosity is as important as creativity in my opinion and to work in biomedical engineering to find solutions with technology to challenges in quality of life for people is really the most interesting I could imagine.
