Research in the Centre for Hearing and Balance Studies focuses on hearing and balance and reflects our interest in informing professional practice in supporting intervention and treatment, to the benefit of people using audiology and other health services.
Contents
We take a biopsychosocial approach to hearing and balance difficulties: this model of health proposes that individuals experience health and illness through a combination of biological, psychological and social factors. These factors can inter-relate (eg increased psychological focus on a bodily stimulus can make that stimulus appear more pronouced). Therefore the psychological and social factors that influence how individuals perceive their general health are of relevance in considering help-seeking behaviour, and when investigating the outcomes of people with hearing or balance difficulties. Our research examines these interactions, applied to audiology services and patients.
Current projects include:
* the role of internally held cognitions such as illness perceptions and their relationship with help-seeking behaviour;
* the experience of hearing and hearing difficulties of audiology patients;
* middle ear mechanisms - clinical data versus theoretical analysis;
* the developmental impact of otitis media with effusion;
* the epidemiology of dizziness and balance problems in childhood;
* illness perceptions in King-Kopetzky syndrome;
* aging and self-categorisation.
