Evaluation of factors predicting tinnitus outcomes following cochlear implantation: Protocol for a prospective quasi-experimental study (2024)
Journal Article

Cochlear implantation is an effective intervention to restore useful aspects of hearing function in adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss. Tinnitus, the perception of sound in the absence of an external source, is common in people with severe-t...

Impact of NICE technology appraisal guidance TA566 on access to cochlear implantation for children using hearing aids in the United Kingdom: a multisite observational study (2024)
Journal Article

A critical review of established tinnitus patient-reported outcomes as measures of Tinnitus Severity and Tinnitus Distress and exemplar analysis of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory as a formative or reflective measure (2024)
Journal Article

Tinnitus Severity and Tinnitus Distress are frequently referenced and conflated constructs in research, measured using established tinnitus patient-reported outcome measures (PROs). Confusion regarding these constructs and their relation to fundament...

Development of the impact of tinnitus in children questionnaire (iTICQ) (2024)
Journal Article

Introduction: Tinnitus is a common disorder of the auditory system. Questionnaires are essential tools for clinical assessment and research. Whilst many questionnaires are available to measure different aspects of tinnitus complaint in adults, there...

Tinnitus, Suicide, and Suicidal Ideation: A Scoping Review of Primary Research (2023)
Journal Article

Tinnitus (the perception of sound in the absence of any corresponding external source) is highly prevalent and can be distressing. There are unanswered questions about how tinnitus, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal behaviours co-occur and interact. To...

Device-based interventions that seek to restore bilateral and binaural hearing in adults with single-sided deafness: a conceptual analysis (2023)
Journal Article

Single-sided deafness (SSD) is defined by severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss in one ear only. This article outlines the etiologies and associated functional, psychological, social, and other consequences of SSD in adulthood. The available...

Characterisation of the treatment provided for children with unilateral hearing loss (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Children with permanent unilateral hearing loss (UHL) are an understudied population, with limited data to inform the guidelines on clinical management. There is a funding gap in healthcare provision for the children with UHL in the Unite... Read More about Characterisation of the treatment provided for children with unilateral hearing loss.

The impact of tinnitus on adult cochlear implant recipients: A mixed-method approach (2023)
Journal Article

Background Tinnitus is a common problem in patients with a cochlear implant (CI). Between 4% and 25% of CI recipients experience a moderate to severe tinnitus handicap. However, apart from handicap scores, little is known about the real-life impact... Read More about The impact of tinnitus on adult cochlear implant recipients: A mixed-method approach.

The executive disruption model of tinnitus distress: Model validation in two independent datasets using factor score regression (2023)
Journal Article

This study presents the executive disruption model (EDM) of tinnitus distress and subsequently validates it statistically using two independent datasets (the Construction Dataset: n = 96 and the Validation Dataset: n = 200). The conceptual EDM was fi... Read More about The executive disruption model of tinnitus distress: Model validation in two independent datasets using factor score regression.

Establishing a Core Domain Set for early-phase clinical trials of electrical stimulation interventions for tinnitus in adults: protocol for an online Delphi study (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Tinnitus is the awareness of a sound in the ear or head in the absence of an external source. It affects around 10–15% of people and current treatment options are limited. Experimental treatments include various forms of electrical stimul...
