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...

Device-based interventions that seek to restore bilateral and binaural hearing in adults with single-sided deafness: a conceptual analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Katiri, R., Peters, J. P. M., Fackrell, K., & Hoare, D. J. (2023). Device-based interventions that seek to restore bilateral and binaural hearing in adults with single-sided deafness: a conceptual analysis. Frontiers in Audiology and Otology, 1, Article 1242196. https://doi.org/10.3389/fauot.2023.1242196

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
Patel, R., Hoare, D. J., Willis, K. R., Tabraiz, S., Bateman, P. K., & Thornton, S. K. (2023). Characterisation of the treatment provided for children with unilateral hearing loss. Frontiers in Pediatrics, 11, Article 1197713. https://doi.org/10.3389/fped.2023.1197713

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
Assouly, K. K., Shabbir, M., van Dijk, B., Hoare, D. J., Akeroyd, M. A., Stokroos, R. J., …Smit, A. L. (2023). The impact of tinnitus on adult cochlear implant recipients: A mixed-method approach. PLoS ONE, 18(4), Article e0284719. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0284719

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
Clarke, N. A., Akeroyd, M. A., Henshaw, H., Hall, D. A., Mohamad, W. N. W., & Hoare, D. J. (2023). The executive disruption model of tinnitus distress: Model validation in two independent datasets using factor score regression. Frontiers in Psychology, 14, Article 1006349. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1006349

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.

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...
