Dr Tobias Goehring University positionResearch Associate DepartmentsInstitutesMRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit Home pagehttps://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/... Research ThemesInterestsMy focus lies on improving the perception of speech for people with hearing loss in everyday life, especially in difficult listening situations with interfering background sounds. I combine techniques from Engineering, Auditory Neuroscience and Machine Learning to improve the performance of Medical Hearing Devices such as Cochlear implants and Hearing aids. My research spans the whole circle from the development of novel signal processing strategies and algorithms to the evaluation based on listening experiments with the target audience. Research Focus
