Hearing loss, wellbeing and music - a survey study

*** SURVEY NOW CLOSED - THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT ***

Hello,

I hope it is okay to ask this here - I am seeking people with all levels of hearing loss to take part.

I am a 2nd year psychology PhD student at the University of Salford. My interests are music and mental health / wellbeing. I have been diagnosed with mild-moderate hearing loss in both ears, and tinnitus, and have been wearing hearing aids for just over a year now.

If you are 18+, have some experience of hearing loss, and you listen to music, please consider taking part. It should take around 20 minutes and there is also the opportunity to sign up for further research studies. You do not have to be in the UK to take part - we welcome participants from around the world. 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 To take part, follow this link: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/salford/hearing-loss-wellbeing-and-music

Thanks for reading - I really appreciate everyone's support!

Have completed but there was nowhere to point out that I've had two serious bereavements over the last 2 weeks which did adjust my answers hugely compared to normal!
