As an early settlement in New England, our community is home to several National Register of Historic Places sites, like the Cheshire Historic and Marion Historic Districts, the Farmington Canal Lock, and the First Congregational Church of Cheshire.
The smallest town on Connecticut’s Gold Coast, Darien, CT also has the youngest population of any non-college town in Connecticut, a high rate of marriage, and a high number of average children per household, while also being one of the wealthiest communities in the US. Many of our residents commute to Manhattan using one of our two Metro-North rail stations, which link to the Grand Central Terminal.
Our community is part of Sustainable Fairfield County, a cooperative organization made up of ten Fairfield County communities that joined forces to advance environmental sustainability and responsibility. Though commercial enterprise is a bit scarce in Darien, we offer our citizens ample opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of our community.
In addition to historic landmarks like the Convent of St. Birgitta, the Frederick J. Smith House, and the Mather Homestead, our community features a long list of annual events to attend as well as numerous philanthropic groups and private membership clubs to interact with friends and neighbors. Recreational opportunities are abundant in our community, which features nearly a dozen parks and preserves, a bird sanctuary, ponds for open-air skating in the winter and interaction with nature during warmer months, and two beaches.
Better hearing enhances your capacity to enjoy what nature has to offer as well as improves interaction with family, friends, and neighbors for a more rewarding lifestyle. Because of Dr. Bauman, a major contributor in the field of audiology worldwide and co-founder of AVI New England, individuals in Darien and nearby communities have access to personalized and local solutions available to address hearing loss, tinnitus, sound sensitivity issues, balance disorders, and other hearing care services at our Norwalk, CT clinic.

How Can We Help?
Hearing Assessments
When Was Your Last Hearing Test?
Most people regularly have their eyes, teeth and bloodwork tested but rarely do they include checking their hearing.
It is reported that hearing loss is the third most common physical health condition, impacting globally 1 in 8 individuals. The World Health Organization predicts that hearing loss will almost double in the next 30 years; this makes a regular hearing assessment critically important.
The biggest challenge is that hearing loss often occurs slowly and gradually, making it almost impossible to notice on a day-to-day change.
Typically, our loved ones are first to notice that we are experiencing a hearing challenge before we do.
Having a regular hearing assessment allows for early detection of hearing loss ensuring the right preventive measures are taken so that your hearing health is optimally cared for.
If you are concerned about your hearing or a loved one’s hearing, we highly encouraged you to schedule a hearing assessment with our expert hearing doctors. It is quick, non-invasive, and you’ll receive the results immediately.

Tinnitus Evaluations & Treatment

If you are experiencing challenges with tinnitus (ringing in the ear) or sound sensitivity, then you will understand the detrimental impact that this can have on the quality of your life.

It can be overwhelming to think that you will struggle with these challenges for the rest of your life.

which he also teaches to practitioners both nationally and internationally. He is now considered the expert that experts turn to for advice and support.
Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Bauman to discuss how your auditory problems can be treated. In-office and Tele-Health consultation appointments are available.
