Dr. Rubinstein’s primary research focus is to improve hearing in persons with cochlear implants, surgically implanted devices used by persons with severe hearing impairments. In particular, his goal is to improve perception of music and speech in noisy environments. Toward this end he focuses on the patterns of electronic signals the implant sends to the brain, with the aim of finding ways to optimize signals for speech and music, while de-emphasizing signals for competing sounds.
