Michael P. Scott, AuD, FAAA, CCC-A

I am an audiologist and the auditory implant team coordinator. Clinically, I focus on the use of implantable devices to improve hearing loss. I’m also a member of the CHARGE Center, through which I support the hearing needs of patients with CHARGE Syndrome — a rare genetic disorder that can cause various symptoms, including ear abnormalities. I specialize in working with any type of auditory implant, including bone conduction, cochlear or brainstem implants.

While working on my master's degree in deaf education, my wife and I served as residential house parents at the Central Institute for the Deaf. There, I experienced the immediate impact of early intervention, quality education and advanced technology on the global development of children with hearing loss. I knew from that experience that I wanted to assist others with hearing loss to improve their outcomes. Now I get to pay that experience forward through both clinical work and teaching at the doctoral level at the University of Cincinnati.

I like to think outside the box when treating patients. Every person has unique needs, and I enjoy looking for ways to address them outside of our typical clinical approaches. I'm also a researcher investigating new therapeutic approaches for treating genetic hearing loss.

Outside of work, I enjoy being in the kitchen, working with my hands and spending time outdoors with my family.
