MRC Institute of Hearing Research: Research

How we can understand speech at all in many modern, noisy environments remains a considerable mystery. The fact that we do, and that we do it much better than any machine or algorithm, places research into the neuroscience and psychology of hearing right at the forefront of 21st century science. About 8 million people in the UK have at least 25 dB of hearing loss, substantial enough to warrant a hearing aid – about 1 in 6 of the population.

A further unknown number of millions of people have a “hidden” hearing loss. The problems are exacerbated in background sounds that are commonplace in almost all listening situations, from busy social circumstances to listening to the radio in a car. IHR is the MRC's largest investment in hearing science. Translation of our science into clinical and industrial applications is a crucial aspect to our work. We plan to start new programmes this year. MRC Institute of Hearing Research: Publications. Publications from 2015 Most publications have more details available.

Twice exceptional

A "twice exceptional", “dual exceptionality”, or 2E child is one who is intellectually gifted, but also has difficulties such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, dyspraxia, hearing or vision problems or other difficulties. Such children can be puzzles to both teachers and parents if they have all the attributes of an exceptionally or profoundly gifted child except where affected by the difficulty. The children can even appear 'normal' (that is, age appropriate) in their area of weakness, but much confusion, frustration and distress can ensue unless an accurate assessment of strengths and weaknesses is obtained. Many people don't realize that a child can be both gifted and have special needs, but Linda Silverman, the director of the Gifted Development Center (GDC) has found that 1/6 of the gifted children tested at the GDC have a difficulty of some type.

The presence of a specific learning difficulty does not mean that a child is any less intellectually gifted. What is behavioural optometry? WriteToThem - Email your Councillor, MP, MEP, MSP or Welsh, NI, or London Assembly Member for free.
