Dr. John K. Niparko (1955 – April 25, 2016) was an American surgeon-scientist who specialized in cochlear implants,[1] and edited, and wrote several chapters of, the book Cochlear Implants: Principles & Practices. He was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and attended the University of Michigan for his bachelor’s and medical degrees. He completed his residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery and a fellowship in neurotology at Michigan and served as a faculty member before moving on to Johns Hopkins University.[1][2]
At the time of his death at age 61, Niparko was the chair of the USC Keck School of Medicine's Caruso Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.[3] Before he moved to USC in 2013, he was the George T. Nager Professor and director of the Division of Otology, Neurotology and Skull Base Surgery at Johns Hopkins University.[3]
Niparko was recognized as a leading authority on cochlear implants, and notably operated on former Miss America Heather Whitestone in 2002.[4]
Niparko conducted research demonstrating that cost cochlear implants were highly cost effective in children and adults.[5] He led efforts to establish a new national organization to focus on the underutilization of cochlear implants in the United States. This led to the founding of the American Cochlear Implant Alliance in 2011 with a mission to focus on access to cochlear implants.
The John Niparko Lecture at the annual Cochlear Implant Symposium was established by the American Cochlear Implant Alliance in his honor.[6]
