About the Authors

George Ealy, MD, PhD, completed his undergraduate education at Davidson College (BS), continued at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to earn a Master of Science, and received his Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology and Immunology in 1980 from the University of Louisville. He continued his postgraduate education there, earning the Doctor of Medicine in 1987.A noted scholar of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven, Dr. Ealy published a seminal article in 1994 concerning the composer’s famous hearing loss, which definitively established from primary source materials that Beethoven was able to hear throughout his life by using early technology for sound amplification (ear trumpets and various resonating devices at the piano). The article, “Of Ear Trumpets and Resonance Plate: Early Hearing Aids and Beethoven’s Hearing Perception,” was published by 19th-Century Music (University of California Press) a renowned journal of musicology and has been cited hundreds of times in various books and research articles. Dr. Ealy has also written several articles concerning the medical history of composers including Beethoven and Mozart.Dr. Ealy is currently professor of microbiology at Keiser University (Jacksonville, FL) and instructs nursing and biomedical science students in clinical microbiology, for which he has received numerous excellence-in-teaching awards. In 2013, Dr. Ealy received the highest award given by the Commonwealth of Kentucky when he was commissioned by the governor as a member of the Order of Kentucky Colonels. He is also an active member of the Duval County Medical Society and the Florida Medical Association.
