Marc Fagelson, PhD, is a Professor in the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Department at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, TN. He graduated with a Master’s in Audiology from Columbia University in New York City, and a PhD from the University of TX – Austin. He supervises students in audiology clinics, specialty tinnitus clinics, during humanitarian efforts, and he teaches classes in audiologic assessment, pathologies, medical audiology, and tinnitus management. Fagelson initiated activity in the James H. Quillen VAMC in 2001; currently more than 1200 patients are enrolled in that facility's tinnitus clinic. He has published and contributed to more than 60 articles, co-edited three texts, and provided more than 120 presentations at national and international meetings. Fagelson is the current chair of the American Tinnitus Association’s Scientific Advisory Committee, through which he coordinates reviews and funding of approximately $500,000./year in grants. His scholarship focuses on the mutually-reinforcing effects of tinnitus and traumatic exposures, with particular interest in those patients thus affected who present clinically with normal puretone sensitivity. Fagelson wrote and published an animated video on the topic of tinnitus, its effects, and management options through the TED-ed educational platform. The video has been viewed more than 7 million times since its publication in August, 2020.
