Hearing Loss and Recovery
Konstantina Stankovic, MD, PhD, FACS

The talk is about how hearing functions in health, what goes wrong in disease, and how to repair what has gone wrong. She discusses preventive and therapeutic options for various types of hearing loss, highlights emerging technologies such as gene therapy and stem cell treatments, and introduces the scope of research from the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss.
Konstantina “Tina” Stankovic, MD, PhD, FACS, is the Bertarelli Foundation Professor and Chair of the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine, and professor, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery. She is a Harvard-trained ear and skull-base surgeon and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology-trained auditory neuroscientist. She blends her surgical expertise with training in physics, molecular biology, auditory neuroscience, and systems electrophysiology to devise novel solutions tailored to the unmet needs of those with hearing loss. She is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine.
