Bio

I split my time between treating patients in general otolaryngology and doing research – I am in charge of the ear lab at the Lions’ Hearing Clinic. I have published more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific articles and dozens of chapters on hearing loss, ear infections, Meniere’s disease and otosclerosis.
