  1. Can you hear the beep? 👂

    An audiogram measures something extremely useful: the quietest pure tone we can detect at different frequencies.

    But:
    Detection ≠ Attention ≠ Understanding

    Real hearing means extracting a voice from noise, recognising incomplete information, localising sound, adapting to change — and doing all of that comfortably and without unreasonable cognitive effort.

    My new HybridMind42 article asks a simple question:
    Are we measuring hearing loss, or measuring enough of human hearing to understand what a person actually needs?

    The audiogram isn't the problem.
    Don't break the tool. Define its proper boundaries.

  2. Time for a new #Introduction . I’m a Lecturer in #Neuroscience in #London at the #UniversityOfRoehampton . I study #NoiseExposure & #HearingLoss & how it affects #AuditoryProcessing , #Audiology , & #Hearing ; particularly #SpeechInNoise & #PredictiveCoding . I focus on #HiddenHearingLoss noise exposure & I’m really interested in the intersection between noise exposure & #Neurodivergent conditions like #Autism & #Schizophrenia .

    My home is a #Boat & most of my pictures here involve my #Cat .

  3. I guess I should probably do an #Introduction as well. I’m a #Neuroscience #Postdoc in #Spain studying #NoiseExposure & #HearingLoss & how it affects #AuditoryProcessing, #Audiology, & #Hearing; particularly #SpeechInNoise & #PredictiveCoding. I focus on #HiddenHearingLoss noise exposure & I’m really interested in the intersection between noise exposure & #Neurodivergent conditions like #Autism & #Schizophrenia.

    My permanent home is a #Boat & most of my pictures here involve my #Cat.
