PhD Student Philip Gomersall scooped an award for ‘Best poster in the category of tinnitus research’ at the Annual British Society of Audiology Conference in September.  Phil works with Bob Carlyon in the Hearing, Speech and Language group at CB and is conducting a part-time PhD that focuses on tinnitus in people who have a cochlear implant.  His project focuses on an approach, often referred to as sound therapy, whereby particular sounds are used to alleviate tinnitus distress. As well as being a graduate student here Phil is also an HPC-registered clinical scientist in Audiology and holds a position at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, performing diagnostic tests and rehabilitation of individuals with a range of audiovestibular pathologies.
