Dr. Jackson’s practice as a board-certified neurotologist is focused on treating disorders of the ear.

The human ear is a complex and wonderful organ. The ear allows us to enjoy beautiful sounds like music and the voices of loved ones. It also detects alarms and sirens to help keep us safe. For many people, hearing is especially important for success in school and at work. Unfortunately, the ear is vulnerable to injury throughout the entire lifespan. The most common disorders are hearing loss, ear infections, and growths inside the ear such as cholesteatoma and acoustic neuroma. Below are examples of the conditions that Dr. Jackson treats.
