Specialist clinical pathways in audiology services for adults living with coexisting hearing loss and dementia: a scoping review protocol (2024)
Journal Article
Wenje, S. M., Calvert, S., Henshaw, H., Spriggs, R. V., Dening, T., Hendron, E., & Heffernan, E. (2024). Specialist clinical pathways in audiology services for adults living with coexisting hearing loss and dementia: a scoping review protocol. BMJ Open, 14(12), Article e087418. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2024-087418

Introduction Both hearing loss and dementia are associated with ageing, and it is thought that many individuals living with dementia also live with hearing loss. Despite the large comorbidity between these two disorders, there remains a clear lack of...

Speech-in-noise, psychosocial, and heart rate variability outcomes of group singing or audiobook club interventions for older adults with unaddressed hearing loss: A SingWell Project multisite, randomized controlled trial, registered report protocol (2024)
Journal Article
Lo, C. Y., Zendel, B. R., Baskent, D., Boyle, C., Coffey, E., Gagne, N., Habibi, A., Harding, E., Keijzer, M., Kreutz, G., Maat, B., Schurig, E., Sharma, M., Dang, C., Gilmore, S., Henshaw, H., McKay, C. M., Good, A., & Russo, F. A. (2024). Speech-in-noise, psychosocial, and heart rate variability outcomes of group singing or audiobook club interventions for older adults with unaddressed hearing loss: A SingWell Project multisite, randomized controlled trial, registered report protocol. PLoS ONE, 19(12), e0314473. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0314473

Background Unaddressed age-related hearing loss is highly prevalent among older adults, typified by negative consequences for speech-in-noise perception and psychosocial wellbeing. There is promising evidence that group singing may enhance speech-in-...

Memory for health information: Influences of age, hearing aids, and multisensory presentation (2024)
Journal Article
Stacey, J. E., Atkin, C., Roberts, K. L., Henshaw, H., Allen, H. A., & Badham, S. P. (2024). Memory for health information: Influences of age, hearing aids, and multisensory presentation. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218241295722

We investigated how presenting online health information in different modalities can influence memory, as this may be particularly important for older adults who may need to make regular decisions about health and could also face additional challenge...

Older adults do not show enhanced benefits from multisensory information on speeded perceptual discrimination tasks (2024)
Journal Article
Atkin, C., Stacey, J. E., Allen, H. A., Henshaw, H., Roberts, K. L., & Badham, S. P. (2024). Older adults do not show enhanced benefits from multisensory information on speeded perceptual discrimination tasks. Neurobiology of Aging, 142, 65-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.08.003

Some research has shown that older adults benefit more from multisensory information than do young adults. However, more recent evidence has shown that the multisensory age benefit varies considerably across tasks. In the current study, older (65 – 8...

Age Deficits in Associative Memory Are Not Alleviated by Multisensory Paradigms (2024)
Journal Article
Badham, S. P., Atkin, C., Stacey, J. E., Henshaw, H., Allen, H. A., & Roberts, K. L. (2024). Age Deficits in Associative Memory Are Not Alleviated by Multisensory Paradigms. Journals of Gerontology, Series B, 79(7), Article gbae063. https://doi.org/10.1093/geronb/gbae063

OBJECTIVES: Age deficits in memory are widespread, this affects individuals at a personal level, and investigating memory has been a key focus in cognitive aging research. Age deficits occur in memory for an episode, where information from the enviro... Read More about Age Deficits in Associative Memory Are Not Alleviated by Multisensory Paradigms.

Applications of Grounded Theory Methodology to Investigate Hearing Loss: A Methodological Qualitative Systematic Review With Developed Guidelines (2024)
Journal Article
Ali, Y., Wright, N., Charnock, D., Henshaw, H., Morris, H., & Hoare, D. J. (2024). Applications of Grounded Theory Methodology to Investigate Hearing Loss: A Methodological Qualitative Systematic Review With Developed Guidelines. Ear and Hearing, 45(3), 550-562. https://doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000001459

Objectives:
Qualitative methodologies are commonly adopted in hearing loss research. Grounded theory methodology is increasingly used to establish novel theories explaining experiences related to hearing loss. Establishing and improving the quality...
