Age Deficits in Associative Memory are not Alleviated by Multisensory Paradigms (2024)
Journal Article

Objectives Age deficits in memory are widespread, this impacts individuals at a personal level, and investigating memory has been a key focus in cognitive ageing research. Age deficits occur in memory for an episode, where information from the envir... Read More about Age Deficits in Associative Memory are not Alleviated by Multisensory Paradigms.

Relationship between self-reported listening and communication difficulties and executive function: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: Listening and communication difficulties can limit people’s participation in activity and adversely affect their quality of life. Hearing, as well as listening and communication difficulties, can be measured either by using behavioural...

The effect of unisensory and multisensory information on lexical decision and free recall in young and older adults (2023)
Journal Article

Studies using simple low-level stimuli show that multisensory stimuli lead to greater improvements in processing speed for older adults than young adults. However, there is insufficient evidence to explain how these benefits influence performance for...

New horizons in hearing conditions (2023)
Journal Article

Hearing conditions such as hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis are highly prevalent in the population and can severely impact communication and quality of life. Hearing is affected by multiple factors, including heredity, noise exposure, age, sex,... Read More about New horizons in hearing conditions.

Editorial: Hearing loss rehabilitation and higher-order auditory and cognitive processing (2023)
Journal Article

Patient perceptions of cognitive screening in adult audiology services: A qualitative exploration (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: Both hearing loss and dementia are extremely pervasive, especially amongst older adults. As hearing loss and dementia have common symptoms, misdiagnosis can be common, and failure to address hearing loss for people with dementia could a...

The leaky pipeline of hearing care: primary to secondary care evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) (2023)
Journal Article

Objective: The proportions of older adults’ transitions through acknowledging their hearing loss to getting access to treatment are unknown. This was examined using data from a nationally representative cohort in England. Design: Patient and healthca...

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.

How Does Auditory Training Work? Joined-Up Thinking and Listening (2015)
Journal Article

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.

Auditory training can improve working memory, attention, and communication in adverse conditions for adults with hearing loss (2015)
Journal Article

Auditory training can improve working memory, attention, and communication in adverse conditions for adults with hearing loss (2015)
Journal Article

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...
