Correcting Hearing Loss

Advances available at UVA now make it possible to restore hearing – and quality of life – for many people, from premature newborns and children born with underdeveloped ears, to teenagers and adults.

“There’s almost always something we can do to help patients,” says otolaryngologist Bradley M. Kesser, M.D. Kesser is part of UVA’s team of hearing specialists, which includes surgeons, audiologists and speech pathologists who work with patients with mild to profound hearing loss.
