Trusted Hearing Doctors and Expert Hearing Care For Norwalk, CT
Since its founding, Norwalk, CT, has survived being burned to the ground during the Revolutionary War, a major train disaster in the 1850s, and a series of hurricanes and their resulting floods in 1955. Each time our community has faced adversity, we’ve come back even stronger.
Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Norwalk was a major stop on the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad line. In the 21st century, our community serves as headquarters for Pepperidge Farms, Xerox, Frontier Communications, and Booking Holdings. Our rich cultural diversity is cause to celebrate the Greek Orthodox Festival in August and the Round Hill Highland Games each July.
Museums, Film and Symphony, nearly a dozen National Register Historic Places, and an annual Oyster Festival are all best enjoyed when you hear better. True to our heritage, the Auditory and Vestibular Institute of New England (AVI New England) provides trusted hearing care designed to face the adversity caused by hearing challenges and help you achieve a richer and more rewarding quality of life through better hearing.
Thanks to our co-founder, Dr. Bauman, who continues to have a major impact on the hearing care industry, AVI New England is able to provide Norwalk, CT and nearby communities with personalized and local solutions to address hearing loss, tinnitus, sound sensitivity issues, or balance disorders.
With a hugely experienced team of audiologists, Hearing Instrument Specialists and tinnitus experts in our Norwalk clinic, AVI New England are perfectly placed for you, if you've ever wondered "where can I find a hearing doctor near me?".
