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.

Applications of Grounded Theory Methodology to Investigate Hearing Loss: A Methodological Qualitative Systematic Review With Developed Guidelines (2024)
Journal Article

Objectives: Qualitative methodologies are commonly adopted in hearing loss research. Grounded theory methodology is increasingly used to establish novel theories explaining experiences related to hearing loss. Establishing and improving the quality o...

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...

When Hearing Loss Co-occurs with Dementia: Challenges and Opportunities in Diagnosis and Management (2023)
Book Chapter

Both dementia and hearing loss are highly prevalent in older adults and often coexist, increasing the complexity of diagnosis and management of both conditions. As the population ages, an increasing number of people will experience both long-term con...

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.

Hearing loss rehabilitation and higher-order auditory and cognitive processing (2023)
Book

The associations between hearing loss and cognition are complex. Over the last decade, our understanding of some of the underlying mechanisms that contribute to this association have emerged. Additionally, more recent research has focused on the role... Read More about Hearing loss rehabilitation and higher-order auditory and cognitive processing.

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.

What factors are important to whom in what context, when adults are prescribed hearing aids for hearing loss? A realist review protocol (2022)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION: Hearing aids are the gold standard treatment to help manage hearing loss. However, not everyone who needs them has them, and of those who do, a significant proportion of people do not use them at all, or use them infrequently. Despite l...

Cogmed training does not generalise to real-world benefits for adult hearing aid users: results of a blinded, active-controlled randomised trial (2022)
Journal Article

Objectives: Performance on working memory tasks is positively associated with speech-in-noise perception performance, particularly where auditory inputs are degraded. It is suggested that interventions designed to improve working memory capacity may...

Does audio-visual information result in improved health-related decision-making compared with audio-only or visual-only information? Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis (2022)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION: Making health-related decisions can be difficult due to the amount and complexity of information available. Audio-visual information may improve memory for health information but whether audio-visual information can enhance health-relat...
