William F. House (1923-2012) was an ear, nose, and throat specialist with a particular focus in otology and an inventor, with perhaps his greatest invention being the single-channel cochlear implant. Although heavily criticized at the beginning of his career for developing the single-channel cochlear implant, many individuals would soon benefit from the device that House created. He also revolutionized a new technique for the removal of vestibular schwannomas with assistance from his neurosurgeon colleague, Dr. William Hitselberger. House is considered as the "Father of Neurotology" because of his many advancements in the medical field with refined surgery techniques and life-changing devices.
威廉·F·豪斯（1923 - 2012）是一位专注于耳科的耳鼻喉科专家兼发明家，他最伟大的发明或许就是单通道人工耳蜗。尽管在其职业生涯初期，他因研发单通道人工耳蜗而受到严厉批评，但很快就有许多人从豪斯发明的这一设备中受益。在神经外科医生同事威廉·希策尔伯格博士的协助下，他还革新了一种切除前庭神经鞘瘤的新技术。由于他在医学领域通过精湛的手术技术和改变生活的设备取得了诸多进展，豪斯被视为“神经耳科学之父”。
