Hello, My name is Addie, and I am a 2nd year PhD researcher from the Leverhulme Trust Aural Diversity Doctoral Research Hub (LAURA) based at the University of Salford. My research is around music and its links to mental health & wellbeing, and understanding how hearing loss impacts on this. I have a personal and professional interest in this area, having been diagnosed with mild-moderate hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears, and I have been wearing hearing aids for just over a year now. I am currently recruiting for people to take part in an online survey. This will form part of my PhD, but I hope that it will also help people in the hearing loss community. This study has received a favourable opinion from the University of Salford Ethics Panel, ref: 2025-9262-12263. I would be very grateful if you could share the study within your networks. People can take part if they are 18 years or older, have experience of hearing loss, and regularly listen to music. To take part, people can follow this link: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/salford/hearing-loss-wellbeing-and-music. The survey should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. If you need any additional information, including any recruitment posters/flyers, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for reading, I am very grateful for any support you can give.
Kind regards,
Addie
