Research interests
Emeritus Professor Noble's major research interests are in psychosocial effects of hearing impairment and tinnitus and methods of assessment that bear on those problems.
He is also very much interested in auditory spatial perception (sound localisation) and the effects of impaired hearing on this and related auditory functions.
A second research interest, stemming from an interest in communication and its relation to perception, is the evolution of human communicative behaviour.
