Help me with a 30 second study to understand the measurement precision of the Visual Analogue Scales used in a published study? Take a piece of paper, a ruler and a pen, and draw a 16 centimeter line. 🧵

Interested in an audiology lecturship at Manchester (primarily teaching focus but some research) AND have something special to offer, we'd love to hear from you before end of month: jobs.manchester.ac.uk/displayjob.asp… @mancad @BAAudiology @BSAudiology1 @kai_uus

Just out: Manchester BRC review of online hearing tests. There's a lot but accuracy & reliability of many unknown doi.org/10.1080/149920… @ManCAD_UoM @ManchesterBRC @BAAudiology @BSAudiology1 @ENT_UK @EntNewsUK

.@PamelaSnow2 @Aus_Hearing @txchoices CAPD existence: It is complex, but our research is identifying unambiguous, treatable, subtypes.

.@PamelaSnow2 @Aus_Hearing @txchoices Functional gains: Agreed, we also use functional reports, as well as objective measures, as outcomes.

.@PamelaSnow2 @Aus_Hearing @txchoices One of the studies is blinded randomised controlled design - the gold standard, but not common in CAPD

.@PamelaSnow2 @Aus_Hearing @txchoices There are 3 studies, all peer-reviewed, all with consistent results. One has 40 particiants.
