Trusted Hearing Doctors and Expert Hearing Care Available For Hamden, CT
Though our neighbor to the south tends to garner more fame, Hamden, CT lives up to its nickname: the Land of the Sleeping Giant. Not long after Eli Whitley transformed American agriculture with the cotton gin, he began to produce arms for the US government in Hamden, modernized manufacturing through the concept of interchangeable parts.
An influx of Irish and Italian immigrants had a significant impact on the cultural makeup of Hamden throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. In fact, those in the New Haven area looking for authentic Italian cuisine are still sent north to our community. Though the southern extreme of our community is a little different than that of our urban neighbor, we still enjoy rural culture in the north.
The distinguished neighborhood of Mount Carmel, located on Sleeping Giant hill, Freedom Park, the Ghost Parking Lot, a notable roadside public art installation located in front of the Hamden Plaza, and the Eli Whitney Museum are all features of our community best enjoyed by those with better hearing. The Auditory and Vestibular Institute of New England (AVI New England) plays a major role in making that happen.
Dr. Bauman, one of our community’s most respected healthcare professionals and co-founder of AVI New England, continues to have a major impact on the hearing care industry, making it possible for us to deliver personalized and local solutions that address hearing loss, tinnitus, sound sensitivity issues, or balance disorders to Hamden, CT and surrounding communities.
If you are experiencing hearing loss or tinnitus, or just have general concerns or questions about your overall hearing health, our hearing doctors and tinnitus specialists in Hamden, CT are here to help you.
