  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. Just found and used this free online hearing assessment test provided by the RNID. Result is the advice to get a full hearing assessment done as I show signs of hearing loss (something that my family has been telling me for a while...)

  3. New genetic discovery could change how Friedreich’s ataxia is diagnosed

    A University of Oklahoma researcher is the first to discover that the sequence of the genetic defect in…

  4. 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 .

  5. 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.
