Deep phenotyping to understand hearing and hearing disorders: Protocol for a feasibility study (2025)
Journal Article
Spriggs, R. V., Bateman, P., Sanchez-Lopez, R., Thornton, S. K., Phillips, O. R., Hoare, D. J., & Wiggins, I. M. (2025). Deep phenotyping to understand hearing and hearing disorders: Protocol for a feasibility study. PLoS ONE, 20(3), Article e0320418. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0320418

Globally, hearing loss affects around 1.5 billion people, while tinnitus is estimated to impact around 740 million. More research is urgently needed to address the challenges presented by hearing loss, tinnitus, and other hearing-related conditions....

Relationships between subjective and objective measures of listening accuracy and effort in an online speech-in-noise study (2025)
Journal Article
Wiggins, I. M., Stacey, J. E., Naylor, G., & Saunders, G. H. (in press). Relationships between subjective and objective measures of listening accuracy and effort in an online speech-in-noise study. Ear and Hearing,

Objectives
Speech-in-noise performance is of paramount importance to daily function, and there exists a bewildering array of outcome measures to capture the many dimensions of this concept. The aim of the present study was to provide insight into ho...

Listening efficiency in adult cochlear-implant users compared with normally-hearing controls at ecologically relevant signal-to-noise ratios (2023)
Journal Article
Perea Pérez, F., Hartley, D. E. H., Kitterick, P. T., Zekveld, A. A., Naylor, G., & Wiggins, I. M. (2023). Listening efficiency in adult cochlear-implant users compared with normally-hearing controls at ecologically relevant signal-to-noise ratios. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 17, Article 1214485. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2023.1214485

Introduction: Due to having to work with an impoverished auditory signal, cochlear-implant (CI) users may experience reduced speech intelligibility and/or increased listening effort in real-world listening situations, compared to their normally-heari...

Exploring listening-related fatigue in children with and without hearing loss using self-report and parent-proxy measures (2023)
Journal Article
Adams, B., Thornton, S. K., Naylor, G., Spriggs, R. V., Wiggins, I. M., & Kitterick, P. T. (2023). Exploring listening-related fatigue in children with and without hearing loss using self-report and parent-proxy measures. Frontiers in Pediatrics, 11, Article 1127578. https://doi.org/10.3389/fped.2023.1127578

Children with hearing loss appear to experience greater fatigue than children with normal hearing (CNH). Listening-related fatigue is often associated with an increase in effortful listening or difficulty in listening situations. This has been observ...
