 English AACR2 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules Person created 2016-05-04 human Jack Roberts; Ken McInnes updated 2025-05-27 human https://www.eoas.info/biogs/P005534b.htm person Patrick James AO FTSE AACR2 Jim Patrick is recognised as a world authority on cochlear implants. He was a key member of the research team which developed the Bionic Ear under the direction of Graeme Clark. He joined the team at the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Melbourne in 1975 and by 1978 had become senior engineer. In 1981, after the first successful human implants, he moved to Sydney to continue the development of clinically applicable cochlear implants. Jim holds 32 patents (and/or patent families) that span every aspect of cochlear implants, including test systems, power supply, speech processors and improved electrode arrays. In 2016, he was professor and advisory board member for the Monash Vision Group, Monash University, undertaking research on medical bionics for vision restoration. In 2002 the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children opened the family‐friendly "Jim Patrick Audiology Centre", named in his honour. In 2009, The Warren Centre, Sydney, recognised the Bionic Ear and his contribution in particular, as an Australian Engineering Icon (one of only four such "icons").

Jim Patrick co-authored many publications with Graeme Clark relating to the development of the bionic ear. He was also named with Clark as a co-inventor on six patents. In 2006, he was a chief scientist and senior vice president at Cochlear Limited. In that year, he also held honorary appointments as deputy director at the CRC for Cochlear Implant and Hearing Aid Innovation; honorary associate professor at the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Melbourne; and special research fellow at the Bionic Ear Institute. In 2015, he was honoured as an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for his work on the cochlear implant, biomedical research, engineering, education and contribution to professional associations. In 2016, Patrick continued to work as senior vice president and chief scientist at Cochlear Ltd. In that year, he was also an honorary fellow in the Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology (in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences) at the University of Melbourne.
