Manchester Centre for Audiology and Deafness (ManCAD) prides itself on being a centre of both teaching and research excellence. We train audiologists across all career stages, and conduct basic and translational research that benefits people with hearing loss or who are Deaf.<\/p>\n

Our work recognises that hearing loss must be studied in the context of broader health, societal, and environmental factors to ensure effective prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Hence our research addresses: hearing, genetics and molecular mechanisms; the interaction of hearing with other senses; hearing and cognition; noise exposure and hearing protection; hearing technologies; and the experiences of people with hearing loss and people who are Deaf within society.<\/p>\n

Our history<\/h1>\n

ManCAD is built on a proud 100-year history of pioneering work at the University that is still shaping deaf education and audiology today.<\/p>\n

More than one hundred years since the first university-based training programme for teachers of the deaf was established here, Manchester is still a world leader in this field.<\/p>\n
