Amanda Hall is a Senior Lecturer in Audiology at Aston University since 2016 and works as a Clinical Scientist (Audiology) in the NHS, specializing in pediatric audiology. She is affiliated with the Applied Health Research Group and the Aston Research Centre for Health in Ageing. Her research focuses on childhood hearing loss causes, audiology service improvements, longitudinal studies, and shared decision-making in healthcare.
She teaches postgraduate modules including Research Methods (NS2RM1) and Research Projects (NS2RP1, NS3RP2). Her work bridges clinical practice and academic research, with a strong emphasis on patient-reported experience measures and evidence-based audiological interventions. She collaborates with NHS services and academic institutions globally, contributing to studies on gene therapy trials for auditory neuropathy, cochlear implantation processes, and the impact of hearing loss on cognitive outcomes.
Dr. Hall's research has led to the development of the My Hearing PREM©, a patient-reported experience measure for audiology care. Her work frequently addresses marginalized populations, including children with Down syndrome and those with comorbid sensory impairments. She has supervised 2 PhD/Master's students and maintains a record of peer-reviewed outputs across clinical journals in audiology, public health, and ophthalmology.
Key areas of investigation include:
- Causes and impacts of hearing loss in children
- Health service delivery improvements
- Gene therapy preparation for auditory disorders
- Interdisciplinary care for comorbid conditions
Recent studies explore social isolation's role in hearing loss-cognition links and the clinical utility of full-field stimulus threshold testing. Her work emphasizes translating research into practical guidelines for audiology and pediatric care.
