Understanding user reactions and interactions with an internet-based intervention for tinnitus self-management: mixed-methods process evaluation protocol (2016)
Journal Article
Greenwell, K., Sereda, M., Coulson, N. S., & Hoare, D. J. (2016). Understanding user reactions and interactions with an internet-based intervention for tinnitus self-management: mixed-methods process evaluation protocol. JMIR Research Protocols, 5(1), Article e49. https://doi.org/10.2196/resprot.5008

Background: Tinnitus is a common medical symptom that can affect an individual’s emotional and functional quality of life. Psychological therapies are acknowledged as beneficial to people with tinnitus; however, such therapies are not always readily...

Hyperacusis Questionnaire as a Tool for Measuring Hypersensitivity to Sound in a Tinnitus Research Population (2015)
Journal Article
Fackrell, K., Fearnley, C., Hoare, D. J., & Sereda, M. (2015). Hyperacusis Questionnaire as a Tool for Measuring Hypersensitivity to Sound in a Tinnitus Research Population. BioMed Research International, 2015, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/290425

Hypersensitivity to external sounds is often comorbid with tinnitus and may be significant for adherence to certain types of tinnitus management. Therefore, a clear measure of sensitivity to sound is important. The aim of this study was to evaluate t...

Consensus on Hearing Aid Candidature and Fitting for Mild Hearing Loss, With and Without Tinnitus: Delphi Review (2015)
Journal Article
Sereda, M., Hoare, D. J., Nicholson, R., Smith, S., & Hall, D. A. (2015). Consensus on Hearing Aid Candidature and Fitting for Mild Hearing Loss, With and Without Tinnitus: Delphi Review. Ear and Hearing, 36(4), 417-429. https://doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000000140

Objectives: In many countries including the United Kingdom, hearing aids are a first line of audiologic intervention for many people with tinnitus and aidable hearing loss. Nevertheless, there is a lack of high quality evidence to support that the...

Source space estimation of oscillatory power and brain connectivity in tinnitus (2015)
Journal Article
Palmer, A. R., Zobay, O., Hall, D. A., Sereda, M., & Adjamian, P. (2015). Source space estimation of oscillatory power and brain connectivity in tinnitus. PLoS ONE, 10(3), Article e0120123. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0120123

© 2015 Zobay et al. Tinnitus is the perception of an internally generated sound that is postulated to emerge as a result of structural and functional changes in the brain. However, the precise pathophysiology of tinnitus remains unknown. Llinas' thal... Read More about Source space estimation of oscillatory power and brain connectivity in tinnitus.

Relationship between tinnitus pitch and edge of hearing loss in individuals with a narrow tinnitus bandwidth (2014)
Journal Article
Sereda, M., Edmondson-Jones, M., & Hall, D. A. (2015). Relationship between tinnitus pitch and edge of hearing loss in individuals with a narrow tinnitus bandwidth. International Journal of Audiology, 54(4), 249-256. https://doi.org/10.3109/14992027.2014.979373

Objective: Psychoacoustic measures of tinnitus, in particular dominant tinnitus pitch and its relationship to the shape of the audiogram, are important in determining and verifying pathophysiological mechanisms of the condition. Our previous study po... Read More about Relationship between tinnitus pitch and edge of hearing loss in individuals with a narrow tinnitus bandwidth.

Neuromagnetic indicators of tinnitus and tinnitus masking in patients with and without hearing loss (2012)
Journal Article
Adjamian, P., Sereda, M., Zobay, O., Hall, D. A., & Palmer, A. R. (2012). Neuromagnetic indicators of tinnitus and tinnitus masking in patients with and without hearing loss. Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, 13(5), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10162-012-0340-5

Tinnitus is an auditory phenomenon characterised by the perception of a sound in the absence of an external auditory stimulus. Chronic subjective tinnitus is almost certainly maintained via central mechanisms, and this is consistent with observed mea...
