Animals have been critical in translational audiology research for years but now we are giving back to them and learning what their world is like and about our own ear and hearing evolution. In this presentation we explore the up and coming topic of animal audiology and FETCHLAB.
Speaker
Peter Skip Scheifele MDr, PhD, LCDR USN
Professor and Executive Director of the overall FETCHLAB™USA and Director of UC FETCHLAB.
Dr. Scheifele is a Navy Vietnam era and Cold War era veteran; submarine sonar and weapons officer/Navy Diver and Naval Oceanographer. He directed the Navy Marine Mammal Technology Program at the Naval Underwater Systems Center, specializing in marine mammal bioacoustics research and was Head Trainer at Mystic Aquarium. He was awarded the Order of the Decibel and a presidential citation by President George Bush Sr. for his pioneering work with marine mammal bioacoustics. He trained and handled narcotics and bomb dogs for the U.S. Coast Guard.
Presently, he directs UC FETCHLAB world-renowned for investigating animal audiology, vocal mechanisms and bioacoustics and conducting animal audiology. Peter serves as the U.S. Army SOCOM and DOD subject matter expert (SME) on tactical military working dog explosive ordnance disposal, audiology and Canine PTSD for ARO. He is also the canine audiologist for Cincinnati S.W.A.T. He is Professor of animal bioacoustics, audiology, and human neuroaudiology in the College of Allied Health Sciences, as well as otology and neurology in the College of Medicine.
University of Cincinnati FETCHLAB is an internationally renowned animal hearing and bioacoustics laboratory and hearing clinic for animals. They conduct hearing screening and full audiological assessment and imaging for dogs. The FETCHLAB is the first and only hearing (audiology) clinic for animals in the United States capable of running full audiological diagnostic testing and analyses. They see dogs and exotic animals (wild, zoo, reserves) from all over the world. They are responsible for noise impacts and animal audiology for the Georgia Aquarium, Mystic Aquarium, Newport Aquarium, and the Indianapolis Zoo.
Exotic animal audiology research is being conducted by Peter and FETCHLAB staff on elephants and cheetahs in South Africa; reindeer and muskox in Alaska; dolphins, walrus, and elephants at the Indianapolis Zoo.
