Improving the lives of older adults with hearing loss: Developing a self-report measure of effortful listening to guide clinical practice
Hearing loss is the most prevalent sensory deficit. In the UK, more than 10 million adults have hearing loss. Because it is often associated with old age and the size of the older population is growing, it is predicted that there will be more than 14 million people with hearing loss by 2030. Read more
Understanding how individual differences in hearing impairment and age impact on audio-visual speech perception
For the one in six people who struggle to hear and thus to communicate, being able to see a talker’s face provides additional information which boosts their ability to understand speech, particularly in noisy environments where hearing aids are often not of much help. Read more
Clinical applications of Ecological Momentary Assessment for hearing healthcare
Digitial technology allows us to collect data about people’s feelings, opinons and behaviour while it is happening or very close in time to when it happened. Read more
Improving physical activity in older adults with hearing loss
The overall aim of this project to develop and evaluate a digital health behaviour change intervention to improve physical activity and reduce noncommunicable disease risk in older adults with hearing loss. Read more
How do deaf babies learn to communicate? A comparison of parent-infant interaction in Deaf and hearing families
Good early communication skills from an important foundation for children’s later education and social interactions. Infant deafness often creates significant barriers in learning these skills. Read more
Investigating the positive and negative effects of noise exposure: increased toughening of the ears vs. increased risk of hearing damage
It is well-established that high levels of noise exposure can lead to hearing loss and tinnitus (i.e. a ringing or buzzing in the ears). Read more

Characterising Autistic Auditory Processing
Research Group:
Acoustics Research Centre
The concept of aural diversity (Drever, 2017) has recently emerged as a novel way of reconceptualising hearing differences. Aural diversity aims to accommodate the whole range of aural experience, including examples such as the musician with tinnitus, the lip-reading churchgoer and the autistic school student. Read more
