Research projects that need your involvement
Research projects requesting your input
As part of my Advanced Audiology MSc, I invite you to participate in my research project. Clinical experiences of children needing adaptive behavioural testing
It has been suggested there has been a need for a change in adaptive behavioural assessment in paediatric clinic to obtain behavioural responses over the last 5 years. The aim of my study is to seek audiologists’ views on this theory and what their experience has been.
I will be conducting 30 minute interviews via Zoom to record your thoughts and experiences.
If you would like to be involved and help me with my research or to find out more information then please email me zoe.porter@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk.

We are looking for audiologists in the United Kingdom to participate in a survey to investigate the attitudes of audiologists towards teleaudiology. Your feedback is essential to identifying teleaudiology service barriers and facilitators and enhancing patient access to hearing healthcare.
To take part, you must:
● Be a registered audiologist with a full license to work in the UK without any restrictions in practice.
Teleaudiology is a way to provide hearing care services remotely. Despite the potential benefits of teleaudiology, its adoption by audiologists has been unexplored, so it is necessary to better understand the attitudes of audiologists towards this emerging technology. By participating in this survey, you can help us determine the elements that affect audiologists’ attitudes towards teleaudiology, and provide information for the progress of teleaudiology services.
The study would be conducted at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom. You will be asked to complete the questionnaire, which consists of four sections. The survey would take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

David Jay is an audiologist at Manchester Royal Infirmary. He is undertaking a short survey to understand how UK audiology clinics use the Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT). This involves five short questions and is aimed at clinical leads for vestibular services in NHS audiology centres. The data gathered will not be published, but may inform a section of a lecture given at this year’s BAA conference aiming to summarise the last ten years of vHIT research development and clinical practice. Please spare a few minutes to help. Thank you!

We would like to invite you to participate in a study conducted by the UCL Ear Institute. We are aiming to explore what paediatric audiologists in the UK currently do to validate hearing aid fittings in children with unilateral hearing loss including the challenges and barriers they face.
Are you a paediatric audiologist working with children in the UK? If so, please participate in our anonymous survey exploring your practices for fitting and validating hearing aids for children with unilateral hearing loss. You can also leave your email address to enter a prize draw to win a £50 shopping voucher.
This project is part of an MSc project being conducted by the UCL Ear Institute, and it has been reviewed and approved by UCL Research Ethics Committee (12585/011).

You have been invited to participate in a research project investigating healthcare professionals’ attitudes towards artificial intelligence (AI) in ear and hearing health. As a practicing GP, audiologist, ENT specialist, ENT SAS grade doctor, or trainee in these fields, your experiences are crucial in understanding the factors that affect perception of AI in hearing health. This research is funded by Health Education England and will contribute towards the award of a doctoral research degree.
Please follow this link to take a survey (Take the Survey), which should take around 10-12 minutes to complete. You will only be required to participate only once in the survey cycle before it closes on 30th April 2023.
The Participant Information Sheet contains more detailed information about the study, details how you were selected and covers confidentiality safeguards.
Your participation is valued and confidential.

We are conducting focus groups to explore the impact of lived experience of hearing loss (D/deafness) on the role of a hearing care professional, to understand the challenges surrounding work, what support they have received, and their priorities for the profession.
If you are a hearing care professional with hearing loss (D/deafness), we would value your participation in this 90 minute focus group on MS teams.
Saima Rajasingam is conducting this study in collaboration with Joanne Smith (co-I with lived experience of hearing loss).

Thank you for your help with this study.
A team from the University of Nottingham is looking for parents to take part in an interview or complete an online questionnaire about their children’s experiences of sound-sensitivity (hyperacusis). The data will be used to develop a child-tailored measure of hyperacusis to support clinicians and enable future research trials on treatments. Can you help by sharing this with parents?
