About

I became fascinated by the intricacies of the inner ear early in my medical education. I quickly realized the importance of hearing to everyday interaction, and the difficulties that hearing loss can impose. As an otology and neurotology specialist, it is a privilege to serve people with ear, hearing and skull base disorders. I am passionate about providing medical and surgical care for hearing and balance problems and complex skull base tumors to people of all ages. Developing a strong doctor-patient relationship based on trust and mutual respect is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. I believe that being empathetic and a good listener are valuable parts of the healing process, and ultimately lead to proper diagnosis and individualized treatment. It is also important that patients have a clear understanding of their condition and treatment options so they can make informed decisions. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two sons.

  • Is there any remedy for swimmer’s ears?

    As long as you do not have a history of a perforation of the eardrum, you can make a mixture of 1/2 rubbing alcohol, 1/2 white vinegar and apply that to the ear with an eyedropper. Allow it to sit for about 10 seconds and then let it run out. The alcohol will help dry the moisture out of the ear and the vinegar helps to prevent infections. Calhoun D. Cunningham III, M.D. READ MORE

  • Why shouldn't I use cotton swabs?

    Cotton swabs only pack the wax in more, kind of like a ram rod. Also, the skin of the ear canal is quite delicate and can be irritated from even a soft cotton swab. Gently wash around the opening of your ear canal with a wash cloth. Calhoun D. Cunningham III, M.D. READ MORE
