My brother Dave Baguley, who has died suddenly aged 61, was a leader in the field of audiology, working for three decades at Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridge and then at the University of Nottingham, where he carried out research into hearing loss and tinnitus.
Born in Manchester, Dave was the eldest son of Sheila (nee Cavanagh), a social worker, and Philip Baguley, a chemical engineer. When the family relocated to Ipswich, Suffolk, he attended Northgate grammar school for boys before going to Manchester University, where he gained a BSc in psychology in 1983, following up with an MSc in clinical audiology in 1985.
