STATEMENT OF RESEARCH FOCUS

My research focus is in the area of hearing and the vestibular system.  My basic science research has been a histological evaluation of peripheral auditory damage after ototoxic and high intensity noise exposure.  More recently the interest has turned to tinnitus generation and treatment methods, as well as other clinical issues including sudden hearing loss and Meniere's disease.  Specific preparation for basic science investigation has included: (1) Guest worker, Laboratory of Neuro-Otolaryngology, NINCDS, Dr. Jergen Fex, October 20 - December 20, 1980; (2) Summer Neurobiology Course, Marine Biologic Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, June 14 - August 26, 2981.
