Stéphane F Maison

Dr. Maison is a Principal Investigator in the Eaton-Peabody Laboratories at Mass. Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School as well as a clinical audiologist. As an auditory physiologist, Dr. Maison studies the peripheral auditory system and has published more than 45 peer-reviewed papers in the field.

Having spent nearly 20 years honing his skills in the study of sensorineural hearing loss in animal models, Dr. Maison wants to bring the important research questions back to human subjects in a clinical context. His research interests focus on 1) identifying hidden hearing loss (cochlear synaptopathy) in patients with "normal" audiograms, 2) identifying if tinnitus results from cochlear synaptopathy, and 3) therapies to restore speech intelligibility in adverse environments.

He received his PhD in neurosciences from the University Claude Bernard in Lyon, France. He then completed his postdoctoral fellowship in auditory physiology at Harvard Medical School. He also received his Doctor of Audiology degree from Northeastern University.
