Dr. John Li, MD is a Neurotologist (Ear Doctor); Flight Surgeon for the USAF

"I have seen too many patients get permanently damaged by loud concerts, loud weddings, Churches and industrial noise.... and the problem is, people just simply don't know.  Some don't notice that their hearing has been forever altered. Some don't know what levels are harmful and so they keep going back for more."  As an Air Force Flight Surgeon, I have the privilege of flying in very LOUD Air Force Fighter Jets......However, it is actually quieter in the cockpit than it is at some music venues I have visited!"

A graduate of Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Dr. Li completed his internship at Pennsylvania Hospital and his residency in Otolaryngology at Loyola Medical Center. Dedicated experience in ear surgery was obtained at the Alaskan Native Medical Center where chronic ear disease was prevalent among the Eskimos.
