 Helping People All Over the World :: Together We Find Balance The MountainEar Foundation was established in 2020 to focus on the unique cells and physiology of the human inner ear. Functional studies of the inner ear pose unique challenges due to anatomy and location. We are excited to develop a resource that will generate new capabilities to examine the inner ear. The MountainEar Foundation is working with clinicians and scientists by developing a resource for functional studies of the human inner ear. We are committed to increasing awareness and health of inner ear organs. Find out more at the Vestibular Dynamics Lab where we are exploring an exciting new way to help people with hearing and balance issues. From conditions like tinnitus and dizziness to head injuries and Meniere's disease, our work focuses on special cells in the inner ear called supporting cells (SCs). Our volunteer program is for anyone who is excited about improving and protecting their hearing and balance. We welcome individuals to participate who have normal hearing and vestibular function as well as those who have experienced any loss of hearing and/or balance. We are joining the efforts of healthcare providers in several states to increase the accessibility of testing and participation in this database to provide a new resource for inner ear health.
