Prof. Attias is a full professor at the University of Haifa and currently serves as the head of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. He is also the director of the Cochlear Implant Center at Schneider's Children's Medical Center and one of the founders of the Israeli Association for Auditory Research, and he was involved in the establishment of the European Association of Audiology Societies (EFAS) and is a former EFAS president. His main research activities are otology and neurotology, including noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus, as well as, in recent years, objective measures involving cochlear implants and inner-ear pathologies. In his recent research, he is concerned with the development of the built-in capabilities of the cochlear implant to directly and solely stimulate and record long latency brain activity following acoustic and/or electrical stimulation. This innovative method will have many clinical and research implications. Prof. Attias has published over 140 peer-reviewed articles.
