Our research is helping the UK’s 18 million people with permanent hearing loss Today, March 3, is World Hearing Day, with a focus on ensuring no child is let behind due to their ear or hearing problems this year.

Although they affect one in five of the UK’s population, hearing disorders remain under-researched nationally and account for high morbidity levels. Around 18 million people in the UK live with permanent hearing loss.

In Nottingham, we make a major contribution to advancing hearing care with a leading-edge research programme.

Our NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre’s Hearing Theme is one of only three such specialist NIHR centres of excellence in the UK and has a focus on patient and clinician led priorities with research programmes spanning tinnitus, hyperacusis, and hearing loss.

The work of our theme centres on better phenotyping and case finding, assessing new interventions and outcome measures.
