Welcome to the House Ear Institute

edit Description

...about

W elcome to the House Ear Institute (HEI), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to advancing hearing science through research and education to improve quality of life. Established in 1946 by Howard P. House, M.D., as the Los Angeles Foundation of Otology, and later renamed for its founder, the House Ear Institute has been engaged in the scientific exploration of the auditory system from the ear canal to the cortex of the brain for nearly 60 years.

HEI scientists continue to explore the developing ear, hearing loss and ear disease at the cell and molecular level, as well as the complex relationship between the ear and brain. They are also working to improve hearing aids and auditory implants, diagnostics, clinical treatments and intervention methods.

Today, the House Ear Institute's five-story facility accommodates more than 180 staff members within 22 departments. The recent growth of our research studies has prompted a new expansion of our facilities with the construction of a new wing slated for completion in 2006.
