Abstract
Stuart Gatehouse was an internationally renowned auditory scientist whose work on basic research, government policy, and clinical practice has directly improved the quality of life of adult hearing aid users. He addressed issues of relevance to the lives of hearing-impaired adults, especially on the impact of a hearing loss on an individual, the management of hearing loss, and the measurement of the benefits offered by hearing aids. He also influenced practice and service delivery and made major contributions to the delivery of audiological services in the United Kingdom, including chairing a report that directly led to their modernization in Scotland. This article describes his life and career.
