Celebrating 60 Years of Innovation
From its founding in 1946 to the present day, House Ear Institute has led the way in defining the causes of hearing loss and improving medical treatments, surgical procedures and prosthetic devices
Ototoxicity
Hearing loss can be the unwelcome side effect of medical treatments for life-threatening diseases and other illnesses. Approximately 25% of patients treated with certain medications suffer a significant hearing loss.
The Genomics of Age-Related Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is considered the number one sensory disorder in the world and often leads to isolation and depression, particularly in the elderly.
The Art of Sound
When hereditary hearing loss derailed designer Daniel Gonzalez' career as a musician and songwriter, he turned his talent to art and the design. Now a cochlear implant gives him hope of resuming his musicianship.
Hearing Campaign Grabs Teens by the Ears
Public service announcements designed to reach youngsters who spend long hours listening to loud music is the goal of HEI's latest hearing conservation campaign.
Running for Money
NF2 patient's research leads him to the House Clinic, tumor removal and the ABI implant that helps him lead a normal life. Money from his marathon runs aids NF2 research.
