Paris Binos SLT M.A., M.S., Ph.D. is a Certified Speech Therapist and Certified Clinical Supervisor. He holds an MS in Special Education and an MA in Language Disorders/Neuroliguistics (Essex University, UK). Dr Binos completed his PhD in “Speech-Language Pathology”. His research was funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) for three years (50K €) after the national competition. He also holds an FHEQ in Brain-Language from the University of Oxford (UK) and a certificate in Audiology from the Ear Institute of UCL (UK). He has worked for seven years as a Clinical-SLT in a variety of settings, including private practice, home, and a public hospital. Former Research Assistant at the University of Macedonia and university hospital AHEPA (Cochlear Implantation Clinic) and former Special Scientist at the European University Cyprus and Cyprus University of Technology. Visiting Lecturer in postgraduate courses at the School of Dentistry of Aristotle University and the Department of SLT in Ioannina (Greece). Member of the AG Bell Association for the Deaf-Hard of Hearing (USA) and Assoc. Editor of the peer-reviewed journal “The Volta Review” (Columbia, USA). He has published in many international journals (Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology, J Clinical Medicine, Audiology Research, Audiology & Neurotology, Life, J Hearing Science, J Otol Rhinol, etc.), and he has presented his work at many European and International Conferences (ESPCI 2011, 2013; ICED 2015; HEAL 2014, ExLing 2020, 2022 etc.). In 2021 he published in Greek language his monograph titled "Speech Therapy after Cochlear Implantation" (Parisianou). He is an ex-member of the Scientific Committee of SELLE, a registered member of the SLP Association in Cyprus, a Consultant of the Int Phonetic Assoc and the Panhellenic ENT-Audiology Association. He served as an Assoc. Editor of "The Volta Review" (AG Bell Assoc., USA) from 2018 till now and from 2022, he serves as a member of the Topical Advisory Panel of the peer-reviewed "Audiology Research" (MDPI) (cited Scopus, PubMed). Today, he is a Lecturer in the Department of the Rehabilitation Sciences of the Cyprus University of Technology. His research interests are focused on the speech development and weaknesses of infants with a cochlear implant (mono- or bilateral), the study of the pre-linguistic stages of speech development in typical development, hearing re/habilitation and education, language disorders, the study of the effectiveness of auditory-verbal/aural approaches to deafness, the development of clinical training and more broadly in the study of medical approaches to rehabilitation.
My research focuses mainly on speech and language development/disorders of infants wearing hearing aids or cochlear implants. It is crucial to identify early potential communication markers predicting the success of early cochlear implantation, even before the school-age period. My research was funded by the European Social Fund with the scholarship named “Heraclitus II”. The research findings are accessible through the official link of the program (http://heraclitus.uom.gr/binos.html). Some aspects of the current approved research can be found by the National Bioethics Committee of Cyprus. The age of implantation, volubility, suprasegmental factors, the onset and measurement of babbling, speech science, auditory verbal/aural education as an EBP approach, the development of early prognostic questionnaires and the study of early typical vocalization are all the components of my research activity. Based on these, today I teach the courses of Audiology, Rehab Audiology under the SLT perspective and Language Disorders at the Department of SLT in Cyprus University of Technology.
