Christopher J Danner MD
Christopher J Danner MD began his medical career in 1996 when he received his medical degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with Honors. After graduating in the top 5% of his class, he completed his postgraduate residency training in otolaryngology (head and neck) surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) - his first choice in residency programs. While serving as chief resident, Dr. Danner was invited to join the faculty at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
Dr. Danner completed a two-year subspecialty fellowship in otology, neurotology, and skull base surgery at the University of California San Diego, after which he returned to UAMS as an assistant professor serving as faculty in the College of Medicine.
During his time as both a resident and faculty member at UAMS, Dr. Danner was awarded a Distinguished Faculty Award, Faculty Teaching Awards, A Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of his efforts to provide the highest quality of care, and numerous research awards.
Dr. Danner continues to bring new information to the medical community through his leadership and involvement in ongoing research projects. Articles detailing his findings have appeared in such notable publications The International Tinnitus Journal, ENT Journal, Otology and Neurotology, and the American Journal of Otolaryngology, among others, and he has been invited to present numerous national and international presentations regarding his research and the clinical management of different ear diseases.
Dr. Danner has been recognized in Best Doctors in America in 2007 and is a member of several prestigious professional societies including: The Prosper Meniere Society, The American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, The Arkansas State Medical Society, Alpha Omega Alpha, American Neurotologic Society, and American Medical Association.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
- 2007 – present Title: Development of Auditory Skills in Young Deaf Children with Bilateral Cochlear Implants
Principal Investigator: Christopher J. Danner
Co-Investigator: Loren J. Bartels
Status: ACTIVE
Western Internal Review Board (WIRB) Study Number: 1089169
The purpose of this research is to track the acquisition of listening and functional communicative skills in young deaf children who receive a cochlear implant in each ear at the same time (or separated by no more than six months). This information will help determine the benefits of receiving bilateral implants at an early age.

Principal Investigator: Loren J. Bartels
Co-Investigator: Christopher J. Danner
Status: ACTIVE
University of South Florida IRB Study Number: 104069
The purpose of this clinical study is being conducted to look at the bilateral benefits of two Bionic Ears (one implant in each ear) and to look at the effect of the different sound-processing modes on bilateral benefit.
- 2005-2006 Title: Assessing Subjective Visual Vertical in Patients with Posterior Canal Lithiasis Before and After Canalith Repositioning with On Axis Yaw Rotation
Principal Investigator: Christopher J. Danner
Co-Investigator: John L. Dornhoffer

Principle Investigator: Chris Danner
Status: PAST
Source of Funds: Internal Institutional Funding
