About us
- We are a group of researchers and clinicians led by Prof Debi Vickers in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences.
- Our research uses brain response measurements and listening tasks to help improve the outcomes for hearing device users
- We are funded by a Medical Research Council Senior Fellowship in Hearing Research, a National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) Programme Grant for Applied Research, an NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and scholarships/industrial grants for PhD studentships.
- Our work complements the activities of our collaborators in the Cambridge Hearing Group.
