The Hereditary Hearing Loss Clinic is coordinated through the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.  This clinic provides diagnostic evaluations, ongoing care and genetic counseling for pediatric patients with hereditary deafness, including autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic types of deafness, as well as various syndromic forms of deafness.  Dr. Richard Smith began this clinic because of his clinical and research interest in hereditary deafness.  The clinic is a national referral center for hereditary deafness, with referrals coming from both local and distant states. 

Duration: Two-month rotations; Mondays only
