Our research

For over 45 years Nottingham researchers have studied how the auditory system works, how and why it can go wrong, and what we can do to help those with problems by technology or treatment strategies. Some of our current projects can be found under the headings below. 

Decoding the auditory system

The brain circuity of hearing, how auditory perceptions arise, and how people listen in everyday situations

 

Measuring abillity

Core-outcome scales, development of hearing-test materials and methods, objective measures, and ecological momentary assessments

Understanding disability

Listening by individuals with hearing-related problems with or without hearing devices or cochlear implants, deep phenotyping, and determination of patients’ priorities

 

Advancing treatment

Telecare, hearing-device fitting methods and potential treatments for tinnitus
