SUMMARY:BAA Journal Club with the University of Southampton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third of our 2026 Journal Clubs with students from the University of Southampton. \nPresenters: Jasmin Bain\, Daisy Collas\, Jennifer Mansbridge\, Charlotte Dennett \nArticle for discussion: Adult client perspectives of barriers and facilitators to successfully communicating about listening needs and concerns during audiology appointments: a qualitative study \nAuthors: Zoe McNeice\, Dani Tomlin\, Barbra Timmer\, Camille E. Short & Karyn Galvin  \nThis paper investigates adult clients’ perspectives on the barriers and facilitators they experience when communicating about their listening needs and concerns with their audiologist during appointments. Through qualitative interviews with adults who have attended audiology consultations\, it identifies key factors\, such as the audiologist’s communication style\, demonstration of understanding\, therapeutic relationship\, clients’ awareness and personality\, and clinic operational practices\, that influence whether clients feel able to express their listening difficulties and concerns effectively.

SUMMARY:BAA Journal Club with the University of Southampton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second of our 2026 Journal Clubs with students from the University of Southampton. \nPresenters: Zubair Dawani\, Hanna Susic\, Amy Sullivan\, Yaqueen Al Amri \nArticle for discussion: Preference and Outcomes for Fast Versus Slow Compression in Hearing Aids for Older Adults: A Randomized Control Trial \nAuthors: Richard Windle\, Harvey Dillon\, and Antje Heinrich \nThis paper investigates older adults’ reported benefits and preferences for fast versus slow-acting compression settings in hearing aids\, using a single-blinded\, crossover randomised controlled trial in NHS audiology clinic attendees. It examines whether compression speed influences subjective preference\, objective speech understanding in quiet and noise\, and whether factors such as degree of hearing loss\, cognitive ability or prior hearing aid experience predict these preferences.
