80 Years of Innovation. The Future Starts Now.

For eight decades, the House Institute has helped redefine what is possible in hearing health. From developing the world's first cochlear implant and pioneering surgical techniques still used today, to training thousands of physicians around the world, House has helped transform millions of lives through research, education, innovation, and compassionate care. This tribute celebrates the legacy of Dr. John House and Dr. Derald Brackmann—two physicians whose dedication, mentorship, and vision helped shape the field of otology and neurotology for generations. But this story isn't only about the past. Today, House physicians and researchers are advancing the next generation of breakthroughs in hearing loss, tinnitus, Ménière's disease, and vestibular schwannomas through genetic research, biobanking, clinical studies, and emerging technologies. The breakthroughs of yesterday made today's care possible. With your support, the next breakthrough is within reach. Help Write the Next 80 Years: hifla.org/donate
