Jana L. Ziegberman attended and graduated in 2001 from the University of Central Florida for her undergraduate studies. She also attended Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL for her graduate studies. She graduated in August 2006 with a Clinical Doctorate in Audiology.
During her fourth year externship, Dr. Ziegberman worked at South Shore Hearing Center in South Weymouth, MA under the supervision of David Citron III, Ph.D. She provided services such as hearing evaluations, electrophysiology including auditory brainstem response and vestibular testing, and amplification. She also had the pleasure of working with Todd Sauter, M.A. and Daniel Lee, M.D. at the University of Massachusetts in Worcester where she was able to observe a cochlear implant surgery and mapping.
After working at South Shore Hearing Center, she found that her passions of Audiology were vestibular evaluations and treatment and pediatrics. Shortly before graduating in August, an opportunity as the Pediatric Audiologist and Newborn Hearing Screening Coordinator at Boston Medical Center arose. She accepted the opportunity with enthusiasm due to her great passion and love for children.
Dr. Ziegberman is now the Pediatric Audiologist and Newborn Hearing Screening Coordinator at BMC. She provides and specializes in amplification and diagnostics for pediatrics and coordinates the newborn hearing screening program in the nursery and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). She also provides services for the adult population, such as diagnostic hearing and vestibular evaluations, due to her need to maintain her vast audiological knowledge. In 1983, Michael Halle, M.D. was looking into the ear of a small child and told her he saw Minnie Mouse in her ear. Who knew that was the beginning of a lifetime of study for Dr. Ziegberman. Now, everyday she has the pleasure of looking into the ears of small children and she gets to say that she sees Minnie Mouse in their ears.
