The long-term impacts of hearing loss, tinnitus and poor balance on the quality of life of people living with and beyond cancer after platinum-based chemotherapy: a literature review (2023)
Journal Article

Purpose: To elucidate the long-term impacts of hearing loss, tinnitus and balance in people living with and beyond cancer (LWBC) treated with platinum-based chemotherapy (PBCT). Methods: A literature search was conducted between March and June 2022 u...

Dataset of British English speech recordings for psychoacoustics and speech processing research: The clarity speech corpus (2022)
Journal Article

This paper presents the Clarity Speech Corpus, a publicly available, forty speaker British English speech dataset. The corpus was created for the purpose of running listening tests to gauge speech intelligibility and quality in the Clarity Project, w...

Tinnitus prevalence in Europe: a multi-country cross-sectional population study (2021)
Journal Article

Background Tinnitus prevalence studies report large variability across countries that might be due to inconsistent research methods. Our study aimed to report a single Pan-European estimate for tinnitus prevalence and investigate the effect of indiv...

The Utility of Economic Measures to Quantify the Burden of Tinnitus in Affected Individuals: A Scoping Review (2021)
Journal Article

Background and objectives Tinnitus is a chronic subjective condition that impacts patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and requires multidisciplinary interventions. In health economics, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and willingness...

Multiple spatial reference frames underpin perceptual recalibration to audio-visual discrepancies (2021)
Journal Article

In dynamic multisensory environments, the perceptual system corrects for discrepancies arising between modalities. For instance, in the ventriloquism aftereffect (VAE), spatial disparities introduced between visual and auditory stimuli lead to a perc...

A set of equations for numerically calculating the interaural level difference in the horizontal plane (2021)
Journal Article

The variation of interaural level difference (ILD) with direction and frequency is particularly complex and convoluted. The purpose of this work was to determine a set of parametric equations that can be used to calculate ILDs continuously at any val...

Associations Between Hearing and Cognitive Abilities From Childhood to Middle Age: The National Child Development Study 1958 (2021)
Journal Article

Previous cross-sectional findings indicate that hearing and cognitive abilities are positively correlated in childhood, adulthood, and older age. We used an unusually valuable longitudinal dataset from a single-year birth cohort study, the National C...

Associations Between Subjective Tinnitus and Cognitive Performance: Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (2020)
Journal Article

Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of a corresponding external sound source, and bothersome tinnitus has been linked to poorer cognitive performance. This review comprehensively quantifies the association between tinnitus and differen...

Longitudinal associations between hearing loss and general cognitive ability: the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 (2019)
Journal Article

Hearing impairment is associated with poorer cognitive function in later life. We tested for the potential contribution of childhood cognitive ability to this relationship. Childhood cognitive ability is strongly related to cognitive function in olde...

Distinct mechanisms govern recalibration to audio-visual discrepancies in remote and recent history (2019)
Journal Article

To maintain perceptual coherence, the brain corrects for discrepancies between the senses. If, for example, lights are consistently offset from sounds, representations of auditory space are remapped to reduce this error (spatial recalibration). While...
