Overview
An NIHR Manchester BRC funded, collaborative research post with the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester Academic Health Sciences Centre and Univeristy of Manchester.
Biography
Michael joined the Manchester Centre for Audiology and Deafness group after a long stint with the Auditory Perception Group at the University of Cambridge. He devises and supports the projects that require technology and which attract commercial and charity funding in the area of translational audiology. His research strands are on the diagnosis of hearing loss using novel test signals, perceptual effects of hearing aid signal processing, and acoustic testing of hearing devices. His collaborations extend to other projects in ManCAD on the management of paediatric hearing loss as well as external links with eHealth in the use of data analytics in management of, and behavioural effects in, hearing impairment.
Research interests
(1) As part of the NIHR Manchester BRC in Hearing Health, part of the NIHR Health Informatics Collaborative (HIC) on hearing health, looking at ways of using big data from clinical records to improve management of audiology outcomes in patients.
(2) Design and assessment of acoustic test signals for diagnosis of hearing impairment.
(3) Investigating the existence of "not Energetic Masking" suggested by Durlach (JASA 2006), a category between Energetic masking and Informational masking (Brungart, JASA 2001). One manifestation is Modulation Masking. Preferred tool to investigate this is currently via the relative masking effects of spectro-temporal modulations on speech.
(4) Developing a common battery of tests for the technical assessment of wireless remote microphone systems, especially relevant to paediatric populations.
