For Robin, hearing aids and a need for hearing care have been a constant companion since the age of two.  

“I was born with nerve damage and have been wearing hearing aids since I was two years old... I am lost without them.” 

Unlike those just starting their hearing journey, Robin’s lifelong experience highlights that successful hearing care isn’t just about the device; it’s about the precision of the fit and the caliber of the specialist guiding your care. 

If you rely on hearing aids, or even if you are just considering them, you understand that your connection to sound is deeply personal. For some, hearing aids are a necessity, not an accessory.  

Robin’s experience puts this into perspective: Without properly fitted and programmed aids, the world becomes inaccessible. 

Lifelong Experience: What Real, Quality Care Looks Like 

Robin’s journey is unique, but the need for expert care is universal. Years of wearing hearing aids have made Robin someone who knows exactly what quality care looks like, and also what happens when it’s missing. 

You benefit from the wisdom of those who have walked this path before you. Robin’s insights show that expertise in hearing care isn’t just about technology; it’s about understanding the individual, their history, and their specific needs. 

The AVI New England Difference: Precision and Pedigree 

Robin’s journey led to AVI New England, where the difference was clear from the very first visit. When you seek care, you deserve a team that recognizes your needs immediately with no guesswork or delays. 

“Janice started with me and knew right away I needed Dr. Bauman,” Robin says. “There is a lot of history with Columbia University. The compassion and commitment, from the front desk to Dr. Bauman, truly stands out.”  

This level of intuition and expertise ensures you receive care that’s tailored to fit your needs, not generic. 

You can rest assured that the clinical history and academic pedigree at AVI New England mean your hearing health is in the hands of true experts.  

Our team’s background, including connections to Columbia University, brings a level of excellence that translates directly to better outcomes for you. 

Beyond the Device: The Art of Fitting and Programming 

It’s not enough to simply purchase hearing aids. The magic lies in how they’re fitted and programmed. For those with complex hearing challenges, like Robin, expert programming is paramount. 

“I could not function without hearing aids, as I am too deaf, and fitting and programming are paramount to my success,” Robin says.  

Off-the-shelf solutions can’t compare to the precision that a professional audiologist provides. You benefit from a customized approach that considers the complexity of your hearing needs, especially if you have nerve damage or profound loss. 

You deserve a hearing solution that’s as unique as you are. At AVI New England, the focus is on the art and science of fitting and programming, ensuring that your aids transform your experience of the world, not just amplify sound. 

Paying It Forward: Encouraging the Next Generation of Listeners 

Robin’s commitment doesn’t stop at personal care. With decades of experience, Robin now tries to encourage others to take charge of their hearing health: “I also counsel people, particularly those aging, on how important hearing care is... I should know, as I have been wearing aids all my life.” 

If you’re hesitant about starting your hearing health journey, know that you’re not alone. Many feel uncertainty or fear about taking the first step. But when someone with Robin’s depth of experience recommends a clinic, it’s a powerful endorsement.
