Effects of noise exposure on young adults with normal audiograms I: Electrophysiology (2016)
Journal Article
Prendergast, G., Guest, H., Munro, K. J., Kluk, K., Léger, A., Hall, D. A., …Plack, C. J. (2017). Effects of noise exposure on young adults with normal audiograms I: Electrophysiology. Hearing Research, 344, 68-81. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2016.10.028

Noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy has been demonstrated in numerous rodent studies. In these animal models, the disorder is characterized by a reduction in amplitude of wave I of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) to high-level stimuli, whereas...

Neuroanatomical Alterations in Tinnitus Assessed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2016)
Journal Article
Allan, T. W., Besle, J., Langers, D. R., Davies, J., Hall, D. A., Palmer, A. R., & Adjamian, P. (2016). Neuroanatomical Alterations in Tinnitus Assessed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 8, Article 221. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnagi.2016.00221

Previous studies of anatomical changes associated with tinnitus have provided inconsistent results, with some showing significant cortical and subcortical changes, while others have found effects due to hearing loss, but not tinnitus. In this study,... Read More about Neuroanatomical Alterations in Tinnitus Assessed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Domains relating to the everyday impact of hearing loss, as reported by patients or their communication partner(s): protocol for a systematic review (2016)
Journal Article
Vas, V., Akeroyd, M. A., & Hall, D. A. (2016). Domains relating to the everyday impact of hearing loss, as reported by patients or their communication partner(s): protocol for a systematic review. BMJ Open, 6(9), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2016-011463

INTRODUCTION: Hearing loss is a highly prevalent condition that affects around 1 in 6 people in the UK alone. This number is predicted to rise by the year 2031 to a staggering 14.5 million people due to the ageing population of the UK. Currently, th...

Systematic review of outcome domains and instruments used in clinical trials of tinnitus treatments in adults (2016)
Journal Article
Hall, D. A., Haider, H., Szczepek, A., Lau, P., Rabau, S., Jones-Diette, J., …Mazurek, B. (2016). Systematic review of outcome domains and instruments used in clinical trials of tinnitus treatments in adults. Trials, 17(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-016-1399-9

© 2016 Hall et al. Background: There is no evidence-based guidance to facilitate design decisions for confirmatory trials or systematic reviews investigating treatment efficacy for adults with tinnitus. This systematic review therefore seeks to ascer... Read More about Systematic review of outcome domains and instruments used in clinical trials of tinnitus treatments in adults.

A systematic review of the reporting of tinnitus prevalence and severity (2016)
Journal Article
McCormack, A., Edmondson-Jones, M., Somerset, S., & Hall, D. (2016). A systematic review of the reporting of tinnitus prevalence and severity. Hearing Research, 337, 70-79. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2016.05.009

© 2016 Elsevier B.V. Introduction: There is no standard diagnostic criterion for tinnitus, although some clinical assessment instruments do exist for identifying patient complaints. Within epidemiological studies the presence of tinnitus is determine... Read More about A systematic review of the reporting of tinnitus prevalence and severity.

Whole scalp resting state EEG of oscillatory brain activity shows no parametric relationship with psychoacoustic and psychosocial assessment of tinnitus: a repeated measures study (2016)
Journal Article
Pierzycki, R. H., McNamara, A. J., Hoare, D. J., & Hall, D. A. (2016). Whole scalp resting state EEG of oscillatory brain activity shows no parametric relationship with psychoacoustic and psychosocial assessment of tinnitus: a repeated measures study. Hearing Research, 331, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2015.11.003

Tinnitus is a perception of sound that can occur in the absence of an external stimulus. A brief review of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) literature demonstrates that there is no clear relationship between tinnitus pres...
