Through our mission of research, education, and community care, the Ear Research Foundation has helped thousands of individuals with hearing loss and balance disorders,
since 1979.
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.
Dr. Silverstein has developed the first corrective surgical treatment for hyperacusis, and we are now the leading center in the world for hyperacusis surgery.

We hope that you consider a monthly donation to support our efforts to make healthy hearing
accessible for children, adults, and seniors within our community.
