Journal Article
Labree, B., Sereda, M., Cullington, H., Johnson, S., Church, P., Dunster, J., & Hoare, D. J. (2024). Evaluation of factors predicting tinnitus outcomes following cochlear implantation: Protocol for a prospective quasi-experimental study. PLoS ONE, 19(6), Article e0302790. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0302790

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...

Journal Article
Clarke, N. A., Hoare, D. J., & Trigg, A. (2024). 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. Frontiers in Audiology and Otology, 1, Article 1325137. https://doi.org/10.3389/fauot.2023.1325137

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...

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...
