This week it was my great pleasure to attend my PhD graduation from @LSTMnews amongst friends and family and given my thesis topic of assitive technology for hearing, it was fitting and poignant that assitive technology helped me out on the day @LivUni @_ATscale @MLW_Programme

We review expected hearing thresholds which may help those in settings without audiology, and find that cochlear function is usually preserved, providing guidance for asistive technology development to address these population's needs onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @ShellyChadha1
720 studies assessed, meta analysis: Mean bone conduction thresholds were approx 27dB HL in adults and 10dB HL in children, so air and bone conduction devices should benefit
