About
“Our mission is threefold: ear and neuroscience research, education, and global hearing health, “so all may hear.”
Our Work
Research
Defining the causes of hearing and balance disorders and developing the solutions necessary to aid the deaf and hard-of-hearing.
Education
Providing hearing health information to the public and education programs for medical professionals.
Global Hearing Health
Increasing access to treatments, technology, and training in high-need communities locally and worldwide.
Howard P. House founded the institute in 1946 as the Los Angeles Foundation of Otology, a private nonprofit hearing research and education facility with the goal of creating a world where “all may hear.”
From physical challenges like balance disorders to social challenges like reduced academic achievement, hearing loss can have a debilitating impact on all areas of life. World Health Organization estimates that by 2050, 1 in 10 people will have debilitating hearing loss. We are on a mission to change that.
