Biography

Dr. Chang's clinical practice based at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital focuses on Pediatric Otology. His specific clinical interests include congenital hearing loss, congenital ear anomalies, pediatric cochlear implantation, microtia and atresia reconstruction, and bone conduction implants. His research interests encompass hearing loss, neonatal hearing screening, genetics of hearing loss, otoacoustic emissions, auditory physiology, and ototoxicity. He developed the Chang Ototoxicity Grading Scales and is actively involved in human clinical trials that aim to prevent cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, thereby reducing the number of children who develop hearing loss due to chemotherapy. Dr. Chang earned a B.A. magna cum laude from Brown University and continued to obtain his M.D. degree from the same institution. He completed his Otolaryngology residency at the University of Washington, followed by a fellowship in Pediatric Otolaryngology at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. He joined the faculty at Stanford University in 2000 and has held various academic and administrative appointments.
