Biography

Dr. MANOHAR BANCE is affiliated to  School of Biomedical Engineering, Dalhousie University. Dr. MANOHAR BANCE is currently providing services as Professor. Dr. MANOHAR BANCE has authored I145and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed scientific papers and presented works at many national and International conferences. Dr. MANOHAR BANCE contributions have acclaimed recognition from honourable subject experts around the world. Dr. MANOHAR BANCE is actively associated with different societies and academies. Dr. MANOHAR BANCE academic career is decorated with several reputed awards and funding. Dr. MANOHAR BANCE research interests include We are interested in the vibration responses of the human middle ear in response to sounds. My work as an ear surgeon is focused on hearing reconstruction. In ear surgery, we use a variety of prostheses to reconstruct the sound transmitting function of the diseased middle ear. Our work in the laboratory measures micro-vibrations with a laser Doppler Vibrometer in cadavaric human ears, and explores the effects of various types of hearing reconstruction. It has immediate clinical applicability. We want to optimize the materials, coupling interfaces, and vibration characteristics of reconstruction prostheses, and develop active vibrating prostheses to supersede current hearing aids. We work in conjunction with Dr. Robert Funnel at McGill University in developing finite element models of the middle ear. We also have the capability to perform auditory neural recordings in animal models of hearing loss. .
