Education:
- BSc (Hons) in Audiology, De Montfort University
- PhD in Otorhinolaryngology (Auditory Neuroscience), University of Nottingham
Dr. Davies' research centers on understanding tinnitus mechanisms through functional brain imaging (fMRI), auditory network connectivity, noise-induced hearing loss, and hearing aid verification. His expertise spans both clinical and neuroscientific domains, integrating patient care with advanced neuroimaging techniques. He has led international outreach initiatives, particularly in Gujarat, India, emphasizing global work-based learning for audiology students.
His recent publications reflect a strong trend in using neuroimaging to explore tinnitus-related brain changes, evaluating hearing aid technologies, and promoting student-led clinical outreach. These works span audiology, neuroscience, and public health, with a growing emphasis on pedagogical impact and international collaboration.
Scientific Awards:
- Deafness Research UK funded studentship
