The association between cognitive performance and speech-­in-noise perception for adult listeners: a systematic literature review and meta­‐analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Dryden, A., Allen, H. A., Henshaw, H., & Heinrich, A. (2017). The association between cognitive performance and speech-­in-noise perception for adult listeners: a systematic literature review and meta­‐analysis. Trends in Hearing, 21, https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216517744675

Published studies assessing the association between cognitive performance and speech-in-noise perception examine different aspects of each, test different listeners, and often report quite variable associations. By examining the published evidence ba...

Applying theories of health behaviour and change to hearing health research: time for a new approach (2016)
Journal Article
Coulson, N. S., Ferguson, M. A., Henshaw, H., & Heffernan, E. (in press). Applying theories of health behaviour and change to hearing health research: time for a new approach. International Journal of Audiology, 55(sup3), Article S99-S104. https://doi.org/10.3109/14992027.2016.1161851

Objective: In recent years, there has been an increase in the application of behavioural models, such as social cognition models, to the promotion of hearing health. Despite this, there exists a well-developed body of literature that suggests such m...

How does auditory training work? Joined up thinking and listening (2015)
Journal Article
Ferguson, M. A., & Henshaw, H. (in press). How does auditory training work? Joined up thinking and listening. Seminars in Hearing, 36(4), https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0035-1568985

Auditory training aims to compensate for degradation in the auditory signal and is offered as an intervention to help alleviate the most common complaint in people with hearing loss, understanding speech in a background noise. Yet there remain many u... Read More about How does auditory training work? Joined up thinking and listening.

Computer and internet interventions to optimize listening and learning for people with hearing loss: accessibility, use, and adherence (2015)
Journal Article
Ferguson, M. A., & Henshaw, H. (2015). Computer and internet interventions to optimize listening and learning for people with hearing loss: accessibility, use, and adherence. American Journal of Audiology, 24, https://doi.org/10.1044/2015_AJA-14-0090

Purpose: The aim of this research forum article was to examine accessibility, use, and adherence to computerized and online interventions for people with hearing loss. Method: Four intervention studies of people with hearing loss were examined: 2 aud...

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is associated with computer-based auditory training uptake, engagement, and adherence for people with hearing loss (2015)
Journal Article
Henshaw, H., McCormack, A., & Ferguson, M. A. (2015). Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is associated with computer-based auditory training uptake, engagement, and adherence for people with hearing loss. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, Article 1067. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01067

Hearing aid intervention typically occurs after significant delay, or not at all, resulting in an unmet need for many people with hearing loss. Computer-based auditory training (CBAT) may provide generalized benefits to real-world listening, particul...

Auditory training can improve working memory, attention, and communication in adverse conditions for adults with hearing loss (2015)
Journal Article
Ferguson, M. A., & Henshaw, H. (2015). Auditory training can improve working memory, attention, and communication in adverse conditions for adults with hearing loss. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, Article 556. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00556

Auditory training (AT) helps compensate for degradation in the auditory signal. A series of three high-quality training studies are discussed, which include, (i) a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of phoneme discrimination in quiet that trained adul...

Computer skills and internet use in adults aged 50-74 years: influence of hearing difficulties (2012)
Journal Article
Henshaw, H., Clark, D. P., Kang, S., & Ferguson, M. A. (2012). Computer skills and internet use in adults aged 50-74 years: influence of hearing difficulties. JMIR, 14(4), Article e113. https://doi.org/10.2196/jmir.2036

BACKGROUND The use of personal computers (PCs) and the Internet to provide health care information and interventions has increased substantially over the past decade. Yet the effectiveness of such an approach is highly dependent upon whether the t... Read More about Computer skills and internet use in adults aged 50-74 years: influence of hearing difficulties.

Using the CLOX drawing task to educate the public of the effects of hearing loss (2010)
Journal Article
Quinn, S. C., Henshaw, H., Clark, D., Falck, C., & Smith, S. (2010). Using the CLOX drawing task to educate the public of the effects of hearing loss. Perception, 39(10), https://doi.org/10.1068/p6756

We describe a task used to educate the public on the importance of hearing and the experience of hearing loss. During an open day at Nottingham University, participants were presented with verbal instructions (with or without a background masker) and...
