What Happens When We Hear? (2023)
Journal Article
Sumner, C. J., Akeroyd, M. A., Sollini, J., & Hart, C. (in press). What Happens When We Hear?. Frontiers for Young Minds, 11, 1072364. https://doi.org/10.3389/frym.2023.1072364

What happens when we hear? Where does the sound go when it enters our ears? Our ears sense the vibrations of the air and convert them into electrical signals the brain can process. But that is only the start. The brain uses tens of thousands of nerve... Read More about What Happens When We Hear?.

The impact of tinnitus on adult cochlear implant recipients: A mixed-method approach (2023)
Journal Article
Assouly, K. K., Shabbir, M., van Dijk, B., Hoare, D. J., Akeroyd, M. A., Stokroos, R. J., …Smit, A. L. (2023). The impact of tinnitus on adult cochlear implant recipients: A mixed-method approach. PLoS ONE, 18(4), Article e0284719. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0284719

Background Tinnitus is a common problem in patients with a cochlear implant (CI). Between 4% and 25% of CI recipients experience a moderate to severe tinnitus handicap. However, apart from handicap scores, little is known about the real-life impact... Read More about The impact of tinnitus on adult cochlear implant recipients: A mixed-method approach.

The executive disruption model of tinnitus distress: Model validation in two independent datasets using factor score regression (2023)
Journal Article
Clarke, N. A., Akeroyd, M. A., Henshaw, H., Hall, D. A., Mohamad, W. N. W., & Hoare, D. J. (2023). The executive disruption model of tinnitus distress: Model validation in two independent datasets using factor score regression. Frontiers in Psychology, 14, Article 1006349. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1006349

This study presents the executive disruption model (EDM) of tinnitus distress and subsequently validates it statistically using two independent datasets (the Construction Dataset: n = 96 and the Validation Dataset: n = 200). The conceptual EDM was fi... Read More about The executive disruption model of tinnitus distress: Model validation in two independent datasets using factor score regression.

Inferring the basis of binaural detection with a modified autoencoder (2023)
Journal Article
Smith, S., Sollini, J., & Akeroyd, M. A. (2023). Inferring the basis of binaural detection with a modified autoencoder. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 17, Article 1000079. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2023.1000079

The binaural system utilizes interaural timing cues to improve the detection of auditory signals presented in noise. In humans, the binaural mechanisms underlying this phenomenon cannot be directly measured and hence remain contentious. As an alterna...
