About us
- We are a group of researchers led by Dr Deborah Vickers at the School of Clinical Neurosciences.
- Our research aims at improving outcomes in people using hearing devices using the understanding of neuroplastic mechanisms in the brain.
- We are funded by a Medical Research Council Senior Fellowship in Hearing Research as well as other sources including the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR).
- Our work complements the activities of our collaborators in the Cambridge Hearing Group.
