We Are Speaking w/ Dr. Matthew Kircher

Hearing is different than listening. 

Dr. Matthew Kircher is not only a talented surgeon, a brilliant doctor, and an all-around good person, but Shailushi and Kosha also are lucky enough to call him family. He is married to their cousin (and previous guest on IAS) Sheetal. He sits in the Speaker’s Chair this week to discuss his work as an ENT surgeon, how an ear functions, and why Q-tips should never go near your ears.  

Matthew L Kircher, MD is currently an Associate Professor of Otology, Neurotology and Skull Base Surgery in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Loyola University Medical Center. His practice includes the medical and surgical treatment of patients afflicted with ear disease. 

He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and book chapters. He currently serves on several national ENT committees, Co-Editor for Audiology and Neurotology Journal and is an active member of the American Neurotology Society and the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
