Dr. Herb Silverstein-The leader in Meniere's and Hyperacusis Research and Treatments

For more than four decades, Dr. Herb Silverstein has been a leader in otology and has developed surgical and diagnostic procedures in the area of Ménière’s disease and hyperacusis. He is recognized as a world authority and patients come from all corners of the globe to consult with him.

President and Founder of the Florida Ear and Sinus Center in Sarasota Florida, he is also the founder and head of the Ear Research Foundation, which he describes in his interview.

Doctor Silverstein has more honors than space to describe them all. I was privileged to have him take time from his busy schedule to sit down for this interview.

I wanted to cover the basics of Ménière’s and hyperacusis and as a bonus within the interview, I learned of his leading role in the trials of FX322, and experimental drug being researched for its efficacy to restore the hair cells within the cochlea. This is a subject close to the heart of many with hearing loss hoping for a cure.

His love of research shines through this interview. That love will keep him going forward for many years to come.
