Welcome to the Johns Hopkins Center for Hearing and Balance. The Center includes researchers, teachers, clinicians, and trainees in the Hopkins community. The goal of the Center is to perform research and train new investigators, for both basic and clinical applications. Research is centered on auditory (hearing) and vestibular (balance) function in normal subjects and in patients with hearing or balance disorders.
This week's seminar.Summary:This two-semester course covers a broad range of topics in hearing and balance. Faculty from the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery present lectures on their area of expertise. Students lead discussions on related research papers. Grades during the first semester are based on participation in discussions, a 10-page midterm paper, and a take-home final examination. A similar format of faculty lectures and student discussions is used during the second semester. In addition to participation and a take-home final exam, grades are based on the submission of a mock research grant.
Organizing Faculty: BJ May, J Carey, PA Fuchs
Prerequisites: Physiological Foundations for BME (or equivalent), Introduction to Neuroscience
Meeting Times: Tuesday and Thursday, 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. in 529 Ross Research Building at the School of Medicine. An organizational meeting is held at this location during the first scheduled class. The current syllabus and PDF files from previous lectures are available for download at the course website.

Fellowships are available to support research training for qualified students interested in working in any of the Center for Hearing and Balance laboratories listed below.These positions are funded by training grants from the National Institute for Deafness and Other Communications Disorders (NIDCD). Candidates for NIDCD support must be U.S. citizens or green-card holders, but support for non-citizens is available occasionally from other funds.
Candidates for post-doctoral positions should have a PhD or MD (or equivalent) degree with relevant research experience and demonstrated interests in the research of the Center. Inquiries concerning postdoctoral positions should be directed to the P.I. of the laboratory of interest.
Pre-doctoral trainees will generally be PhD candidates in the Biomedical Engineering or Neurosciences graduate programs at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Contact the departments directly for information.
Research opportunities are available for qualified undergraduate students at Johns Hopkins by arrangement with Center faculty. Nationwide summer internships are sponsored by the Summer Internship Program of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Preliminary inquiries from interested students may be directed to Eric Young
