Dr. Jack J. Wazen, MD, is a board-certified otolaryngologist with subspecialty certification in Neurotology (ear and skull base disorders) and over 40 years of clinical, surgical, and academic experience. He focuses on disorders of hearing and balance, including Meniere’s disease (inner ear disorder causing vertigo and hearing loss), acoustic neuroma (benign tumor on the hearing nerve), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and cochlear implantation (surgically placed hearing devices). His work also includes bone-anchored hearing systems (implanted devices that transmit sound through bone) and complex skull base surgery. Dr. Wazen has held senior academic roles at Columbia University and currently serves as Associate Professor of Clinical Otolaryngology at Florida State University.

I graduated from Wayne State School of Medicine in Detroit with high distinction, and while in medical school received an NIH grant to study the molecular biology of hearing loss. I then completed my general surgery internship and otolaryngology and head and neck surgery residency at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. I subsequently completed a two-year fellowship in Neurotology and cranial base surgery at The Ohio State University. I have added certification in the treatment of skull base and intracranial pathology with stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy (Gamma Knife and Cyberknife). I have been academically active and have published on a variety of topics in my field. I have had a special interest in the molecular biology of acoustic neuroma‘s and also hearing preservation when treating these tumors. I have published on reducing the radiation dose to the inner ear during stereotactic radiosurgery for acoustic neuromas in an attempt to preserve hearing. I have a...
