Christopher Armitage is Professor of Health Psychology at the University of Manchester and Deputy Lead for the Hearing Health theme of the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre.

This research is important because mental health in general is under-researched and is almost non-existent in the Deaf community.
