A degree in nutrition and herbs is
not the typical beginning to
becoming a physician, but for
Dr. Seidman it made a lot of sense.
With his long-standing interest in
"alternative" and traditional
treatments, it seemed to be the
perfect way to augment medical
training.
After attending the University of
Michigan Medical School, he
completed his residency at Henry
Ford Hospital in Detroit, and a
fellowship in hearing disorders and
skull-base surgery at the Ear
Research Foundation in Florida.
He chose his specialty of otolaryn-
gology because he enjoyed the
intricacy of hearing, balance and
facial nerves surgery. He saw it as
a field where there was innovative
work to be done.
Dr. Seidman has recently devel-
oped an experimental procedure
to improve tinnitus, or ringing in
the ears.

So far, two patients have under-
gone the procedure, which involves
delivering specific electric impulses
to the area of the brain that
controls hearing. As part of the
development of this procedure, he
traveled to Belgium to work with a
neurosurgeon and perform the
procedure on a patient there.

One patient's tinnitus was nearly
eliminated, and the second showed
significant improvement. A limited,
FDA-approved, clinical trial is
being scheduled to allow this
procedure on five more patients.
At the Center for Integrative
Medicine, Dr. Seidman leads a
team that offers such holistic treat-
ments as acupuncture, massage
therapy, herbal counseling and
chiropractic care.
Among his
wide-ranging
interests, he is
currently
researching the
effect of red
wine on aging
and hearing
loss through a
grant from the
National
Institutes of
Health.
"We can learn from alternative
therapies, which give patients more
options for treatment," he says.
Dr. Seidman's continuing interest
in nutrition and healthy lifestyles
has led him to develop two patents.
One is for a nutritional supplement
that slows the progression of age-
related and nerve-related hearing
loss. The second is a blood test,
not yet commercially available,
involving DNA analysis to
determine a patient's molecular age.
"Those who take care of themselves
by eating right, exercising, avoiding
smoking, and making other appro-
priate lifestyle choices can be quite
a bit younger at the molecular level
than those who have made poorer
choices, but are the same chrono-
logical age," he explains. "Choices
such as smoking, abusing alcohol
and overeating can result in the
body aging prematurely."
Dr. Seidman has six additional
patents that are pending approval.
One is a supplement that enhances
cognition and may alter the aging
process. Other pending patents
include several for surgical instru-
ments, including one that assists in
procedures involving reconstruc-
tion of the ear bones.
In addition, his new book, called
"Save Your Hearing Now,"
published by Warner Wellness,
arrives in bookstores in May.
He resides in West Bloomfield with
his wife, Lynn, and their three
children. The family is affiliated
with Temple Shir Shalom.
