Steven Cheung, M.D.

Ear surgeon

Dr. Steven W. Cheung is an otologist, or ear specialist, and an ear and skull base surgeon at UCSF Medical Center. He specializes in diseases such as eardrum perforation, cholesteatoma, otosclerosis and acoustic neuroma. He also performs implantable hearing device surgery, including bone anchored, middle ear and cochlear, to treat various forms of hearing loss. His current research focuses on learning and reorganization of the brain in hearing loss and tinnitus so that innovative rehabilitative therapies may be developed.

Cheung graduated from Dartmouth College and earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He completed a residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, at UCSF Medical Center, where he also completed clinical and research fellowships in neurotology, the neurological study of the ear.
