In 1999 Ross completed his PhD studies investigating the "Factors influencing adjustment to tinnitus" and has a range of publications reporting on this research in both national and international journals. He regularly gives lectures to audiology students and practicing audiologists on the clinical assessment and management of complex tinnitus clients.
