Barely two years after the foundations were laid for the Institut reConnect in 2024, it has already published its second annual report. The report sets out the institute's ambitions, hopes and successes. It shares the contributions of a scientific community dedicated to a new integrative approach, "from the ear to the brain." Read on to find out what unites the staff of the Institut reConnect and what drove the past year's research, in four words: 
 
1/ Discoveries 
Decoding thoughts to recover speech, robotic insertion of a perimodiolar cochlear implant, six awards and honors, including a CNRS Silver Medal – the annual report reveals the impact of the institute's scientific results and shines a light on the achievements of the eleven work package teams.
 
2/ Innovations 
How do basic research results become therapeutic solutions that benefit patients? A 12-page central feature explains how the Institut reConnect University Hospital Institute has unique capabilities for innovation, presenting therapeutic innovations including medical devices, drugs, technical tools and innovative approaches in treating tinnitus.
 
3/ Partnerships
Advances in research and therapeutic solutions are driven by effective strategic partnerships. These crucial links run through all the themes covered in the annual report. We hear from all the Institut reConnect's partners, from scientists to industry leaders and associations. 
 
4/ Philanthropy
Thomas Dutronc leverages his influence and visibility as patron of the Institut reConnect, but the institute also has a committed community of sponsors and donors to advance its work. The Institut reConnect depends on the support of companies and individuals to boost its visibility as it seeks to rise to the challenges linked with hearing loss, which by 2050 will affect 2.5 billion people worldwide.
