We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Andrea Bates, AuD will be joining our team in a few weeks! She will be the primary audiologist in our Avon location and you can schedule a time to see her starting September 9th.

Dr. Bates has been practicing audiology for over 20 years. Her clinical background includes pediatric and adult audiology. She has worked extensively with treating hearing loss by fitting hearing aids and counseling patients to set appropriate expectations. Dr. Bates takes her time to guide patients on how to use hearing aids and how they will improve their interpersonal communication.

Growing up, Dr. Bates’ father and brother were faced with many ear problems and subsequently had hearing loss as a result. Being in a family where hearing was a concern fostered her love for helping those who struggle with their own hearing. Now, Dr. Bates loves fitting new users with hearing aids. She finds it fulfilling providing patients with a better ability to hear and communicate.

Outside of work, Dr. Bates is a busy mom of two young children. When she’s not running them to hockey, swim, or gymnastics, she enjoys staying home with her husband, entertaining friends, and cooking.

Provider Spotlight - Dr. Haille Berger

Dr. Haille Berger earned her B.A. in Health Sciences from Florida Atlantic University and her Doctor of Audiology from Salus University. She has experience working in a variety of settings, including an ENT, pediatric hospital, and private practice.

Dr. Berger has worn hearing aids since she was two years old and received a cochlear implant in her left ear two years ago. As a lifelong hearing aid user, she understands the impact and importance of hearing healthcare. After working as a newborn hearing screener, she was inspired to pursue a career in audiology to support others through their hearing journey. For her it is incredibly rewarding to guide people and show them they are not alone.

Outside of work, Dr. Berger enjoys spending time with her fiancé and family, as well as her two dogs, Oakley and Bugsley. She also enjoys reading, going on walks, and visiting the beach.

Dr. Berger sees patients in our West Hartford, Glastonbury and Willimantic locations. Give us a call at 860-236-9000 to schedule with her today!

Hearing Loss is HARD WORK.... and unfortunately sometimes it can seem like we aren't "trying hard" enough to hear. When our ears are damaged by hearing loss, all of the sounds around us bombard our brain without the resolution we once had when our hearing was normal.

This article offers some great tips - but there is more that we can do to help train our brain to regain some of the fidelity that's been lost. Give us a call today to see how the LACE Auditory Training program can help YOU on your journey to better hearing.

Explore the challenges of hearing loss and the importance of understanding communication barriers in relationships.

It is with great sadness that we share the unexpected passing of Ben Taylor, a beloved member of our team. Ben was a dedicated hearing provider who cared deeply for his patients, and his loss is felt by our entire staff and community.

As we take time to grieve and make arrangements to continue providing quality care, our Avon location will not be seeing patients for the time being. We are actively working to bring in another provider to ensure continuity of care as soon as possible.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with Ben’s family, loved ones, and the many patients he served.

Can your hearing loss be causing your brain to age??

Check out the Key Facts from this article:
* Adults with hearing loss showed significantly faster cognitive decline over eight years.
* Reduced brain stimulation and social isolation contribute to dementia risk.
* Early hearing tests and interventions like hearing aids could help prevent cognitive deterioration.

Don't wait until it's too late - Schedule your annual hearing test today! Your brain will thank you :)

A Brazilian study of over 800 adults in their 50s shows that hearing loss is strongly linked to accelerated cognitive decline.

As Solinsky Hearing Center continues to grow, Dr. Michelle Colburn, Au.D. will be transitioning her role to our Director of Audiology full time. While this means she will no longer be seeing patients, each one of our providers have benefited from her tutelage and will continue the patient-centric approach to hearing healthcare that Dr. Colburn has established here at Solinsky Hearing Center. We would like to take this time to congratulate Dr. Colburn on her new role and wish you all happy hearing!
