معرفی
Sander Ubbink is a researcher at the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), part of the University of Groningen. He is affiliated with both the Cognition, Ageing and Disease (CAD) and Perceptual and Cognitive Neuroscience (PCN) research groups.
Dr. Ubbink's research primarily focuses on tinnitus, particularly pulsatile tinnitus, where he has developed expertise in sound measurement techniques within the ear canal. His work bridges audiology, neuroscience, and clinical diagnostics, with significant contributions to understanding the relationship between sound measurements and underlying vascular conditions like dural arteriovenous fistulas. He has also explored connections between hearing impairment and cognitive function in older adults.
His research output shows a consistent focus on developing objective measurement techniques for what has traditionally been a subjective symptom. The trend in his publications demonstrates progression from basic sound measurement techniques to more sophisticated automated detection algorithms and larger clinical reviews.
Dr. Ubbink actively contributes to academic discourse through media engagements, with recent contributions discussing tinnitus diagnosis improvement through ear canal sound recordings (2025), quality concerns in hearing care (2022), and the relationship between hearing and dementia (2021).
He participates in academic events such as the Groningse Tinnituscursus where he shares expertise with colleagues. His research has garnered citations in Scopus and reader engagement on platforms like Mendeley, indicating recognition within the medical and neuroscience communities.
