Daniel Cairns shares how his In2research placement at Newcastle University sparked an interest in hearing research and helped shape his future in science.
Hearing research
Hearing loss and dementia often occur together, but why? This World Alzheimer’s Day, we share David’s lived experience of both conditions and explore the latest RNID-funded research into their connection, brain health and future treatments.
Glue ear affects around 8 in 10 children before the age of 10, but researchers still don't fully understand why some develop persistent symptoms. RNID-funded research is investigating the role of the immune system and could help pave the way for new non-surgical treatments.
Repeated exposure to loud music can lead to permanent hearing loss and tinnitus. We share what recent research is telling us about noise-induced hearing loss and how it affects people in their everyday life.
A new research discovery could help more families affected by a rare inherited condition get answers about the cause of their hearing loss.
Cameron and Chapman share what life is like with deafblindness, and why advances in research could one day protect hearing and change lives.
RNID has received government funding through the NIHR Early Career Researcher Support Fund to help strengthen the future of hearing research in the UK.
Some commonly used antibiotics can save lives – but they can also damage hearing. Together with the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, we're finding ways to prevent or reduce hearing loss caused by a class of antibiotics.
New RNID‑funded research explores how subtle changes in eye movements can reveal the hidden mental effort involved in listening, particularly in noisy environments.
RNID‑funded research suggests cochlear implants could be made smaller or last longer without recharging — without reducing users’ ability to understand speech in noisy environments.
