Meet Our Founder

In 1979, the Ear Research Foundation was established in Sarasota, Florida by President and Founder, Herbert Silverstein, M.D., F.A.C.S.

The Foundation was created out of his desire to continue research and development while contributing to medical education in a private setting for the field of Otolaryngology.
