Sarah M. Theodoroff, Ph.D., is the Interim Associate Director of the VA National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-HNS at Oregon Health & Science University, and Adjunct Faculty at Pacific University and Western Washington University. Her research focuses on the poorly understood perceptual consequences of noise, specifically tinnitus, hyperacusis, and noise sensitivity.

Dr. Theodoroff’s work is informed by her clinical background as an audiologist and focuses on developing effective paradigms to provide health care professionals the necessary evidence to guide patient care for Veterans and non-Veterans with these health conditions. She serves on the scientific advisory committees for the American Tinnitus Association and Hyperacusis Research. She was a member of the VA/DOD Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for Tinnitus Working Group that resulted in the first VA/DOD national guideline for tinnitus. As a VA researcher, the clinical trials she conducts are motivated to address gaps in knowledge pertaining to these elusive auditory conditions and develop targeted therapeutic approaches to improve patient care and overall quality of life.
