 The Epilepsy Family Study of Columbia University is seeking volunteers for a study of the role of heredity in epilepsy.
Right now they are focusing our research on a particular form of epilepsy, in which people have changes in their hearing associated with their seizures.
You may be eligible if you or someone in your family has (or used to have) epilepsy or seizures associated with one or more of the following symptoms:
- Hearing sounds that aren’t really there, such as buzzing, ringing, humming or other sounds
- Hearing distortions of actual sounds, such as changes in volume (growing louder or softer)
- Seizures triggered by sounds such as the phone ringing or music playing
- Any other types of changes in the hearing or auditory symptoms associated with seizures
