[Action on Hearing Loss] Welcome to your new-look charity eNewsletter with all the latest news about what Action on Hearing Loss is doing to help people confronting deafness, tinnitus and hearing loss to live the lives they choose.
In this issue, Dr Ian Wiggins tells us about his research into how much effort it takes for people with hearing loss to listen, which may make the brain work harder to make sense of sounds. Improving our understanding in this area is crucial to ensuring that, in future, hearing aids can be designed not just to make sounds audible, but also to make listening as easy as possible.
Read Dr Wiggin’s blog post to find out more about this and his future research plans.
