On "World Hearing Day" Jenna Littlejohn provides a timely reminder of why and how Manchester BRC is investigating the links between hearing loss and dementia.
Part of our biomarkers week, here we explore the field of clinical imaging tests, and how our Hearing Health research is helping develop new audiology tests for newborn babies with hearing loss.
Manchester BRC researchers have launched a trial on a bedside genetic test that will predict whether newborn babies receiving antibiotics in intensive care are at risk of irreversible hearing loss.
Hearing Health Lead Professor Kevin Munro has become a Principal Fellow of The British Society of Audiology (BSA) and North West Committee Chair of the NIHR Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) programme.
Manchester BRC Hearing Health Lead Kevin Munro welcomes the launch of the “Hearing Medicines Discovery Syndicate,”a unique collaboration to accelerate the much-needed development of treatments for hearing loss and tinnitus.
Professor Kevin J Munro, NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) Hearing Health Theme Lead, concludes a series of thought provoking blogs by our Manchester BRC Hearing Health researchers.
In his blog Professor Chris Plack discusses the importance of measuring hearing sensitivity at very high frequencies, beyond the range normally tested in the clinic.
Professor Cynthia Morton, Programme Lead for Genetic and Genomic Solutions, discusses her project to expand newborn hearing screening to include genetic screening for variants in genes known to cause deafness.
