Martin Sørnes is a ultra-creative Audiologist with a big heart for hearing impaired people. Sørnes has for many years shown extreme resilience and endurance in his endeavors to make Audiology relevant for the 1,5 billion people with hearing loss globally. 

As we still test hearing about the same way today as in the birth of Audiology in the years after WW2, Sørnes found it strange that the current audiometry is based on measurements in silence, while every hearing impaired individual knows that it is in noisy conditions the problems occur. 

Sørnes favorite quote is these words from the late Professor Oren Harari from the University of San Francisco: The electric light did not come from the continuous improvement of candles. Sometimes we need to reassess the problem, in order to make true progress!
