Our Otology Laboratory  is a member of the National Temporal Bone Registry described below.  If you would like information about donating please contact the lab's Director  Dr. Gary Wright, cgwrigh@utdallas.edu

In 1960, the National Temporal Bone Banks Program [NTBB] was established by the Deafness Research Foundation to encourage individuals with ear disorders to pledge their temporal bones at death for scientific research  The program has grown into the National Temporal Bone Hearing and Balance Pathology Resource Registry [The Registry] sponsored by NIH's National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders [NIDCD].  In addition to volunteering to participate in our research, you can help advance hearing and balance science by becoming a temporal bone donor.  For more information please contact:
