With more than 30 years of experience in otolaryngology, Dr. Steven Rauch specializes in the diagnosis and medical and surgical management of hearing and balance disorders. His leadership and expertise in balance disorders led to the formation of the Vestibular Division at Mass. Eye and Ear. Under his leadership, the Division brings together specialists from both otolaryngology and neurology to provide highly specialized clinical care and research initiatives with the goal of improving the lives of patients with vestibular and balance disorders.

Dr. Rauch’s clinical interests include both hearing and balance disorders. He focuses his research efforts on combined disorders of hearing and balance, particularly Ménière’s disease, autoimmune inner ear disease, sudden deafness, and migraine. Dr. Rauch has also cultivated an interest in performing arts medicine. He is an Adjunct Professor in the Liberal Arts Department at Berklee College of Music, where he teaches a course on Health and Wellness for undergraduate music students.

A graduate of Amherst College, Dr. Rauch received his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine prior to joining Mass. Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School for his residency in otolaryngology.
