Cris Lanting, M.Sc., Ph.D., is a clinical and research audiologist at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Radboud medical center. After he studied Applied Physics at the University of Groningen, he did a Ph.D. on the Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Tinnitus at the University Medical Center Groningen. After this, he obtained an MRC Career Development Fellowship at the MRC Institute of Hearing Research in Nottingham. He worked on frequency selectivity in humans using EEG techniques and ultra-high-field imaging of the auditory cortex. Subsequently, he returned to Groningen for a four-year training in medical-physicist audiology at the University Medical Center Groningen. He moved to Nijmegen to join the team five years ago. He now focuses on phenotyping hereditary hearing loss, evaluating new types of implants and hearables, and developing new methods to assess inner ear therapy. He has contributed to more than twenty scientific papers and book chapters. As a clinical audiologist, he is actively involved in pediatric cochlear implantation within the CI center of Nijmegen.
