Dr. William H. Lippy, one of the foremost expert surgeons in the field of hearing restoration today, announced that his non-profit foundation, the Warren Hearing Foundation, has posted twenty-four separate streaming videos providing education, insights and surgical examples from Dr. Lippy and Dr. Leonard Berenholz.

Dr. Lippy is founder of the Lippy Group for Ear, Nose & Throat located in Warren, Ohio. He is an internationally recognized and much sought after expert in stapedectomy surgery for treatment of deafness. He is only one of a handful of surgeons in the world who has performed thousands of stapedectomies, a surgery replacing one of the three tiny bones in the middle ear, the stapes bone, with a prosthesis to restore hearing.

Dr. Lippy created "The Lippy Stapes Prosthesis", and many instruments used in stapdectomy surgery, and has published over 60 peer-review papers and a dozen book chapters over the course of his career. His efforts in educating otologists and audiologists are internationally recognized. Dr. Lippy also teaches and performs ear surgery abroad and was past president of the Otosclerosis Study Group.

"The opportunity to create this video series which really is the culmination of my life's work and provide it to the word via the web and video is something very special to me," Dr. Lippy said. "It took us almost one year to complete the work, however, we hope the impact lasts a lifetime."

"We are very pleased to be able to partner with Dr. Lippy in creation of the video library," said Dave Weissman, owner of DKW Multimedia in Columbus, Ohio. "The videos will create a legacy for Dr. Lippy and all the work he has done throughout the years will be passed from generation to generation."

"The landscape for videos made it perfect for us to create the library," said his son and executive producer David W. Lippy. "My father has spent years helping others and this is another example of Dad doing everything he can to make the world a better and more educated place. I feel honored to have participated in the process of creating the online library and can hardly wait to see the impact we can have all over the world with Dad's life work."
