Comprehensive hearing care for Howell Township residents — a short drive north on Route 9 to downtown Freehold

Hearing Care Close to Home for Howell Residents

Howell Township residents have quick, convenient access to best-practice audiology care at Haynie Audiology & Hearing Associates — located at 31 West Main Street in downtown Freehold, just a short drive north via Route 9 or I-195. One of Monmouth County's largest townships, Howell is home to thousands of families, retirees, and working professionals who deserve the same quality of hearing care found at major medical centers — close to home and without a referral.

Dr. Alexandra Haynie, Au.D., CCC-A, ABA holds a Doctorate of Audiology, ASHA Certification, and Board Certification from the American Board of Audiology — the highest credential level available in audiology. From first-time hearing evaluations to hearing aid fittings verified with real ear measurement to in-home audiology for Howell's significant senior population, Haynie Audiology delivers evidence-based hearing care to every patient we see.

The Howell Township Community

Howell Township is one of the largest communities in Monmouth County — a sprawling, primarily residential township with a distinctive character shaped by the Route 9 commercial corridor to the east, established residential neighborhoods throughout, and quieter semi-rural areas toward its western and southern reaches. Howell gives buyers a wide range of options — from quiet cul-de-sacs with big yards to condo communities close to Route 9 and I-195.

The township's population reflects its diversity: families raising children across Howell's twelve public schools, professionals commuting to New York City via the Garden State Parkway and I-195, retirees drawn to Howell's combination of affordability and accessibility, and long-term residents who have called Howell home for generations. Bordering both Ocean County to the south and Jackson Township to the west, Howell occupies a unique geographic position — close enough to the Jersey Shore for summer ease, and connected enough to central Monmouth County for everyday convenience.

Why Howell Patients Choose Haynie Audiology

Every hearing aid fitting at Haynie Audiology includes real ear measurement verification — a best-practice procedure that confirms your devices are programmed to your specific ear canal anatomy and hearing loss, not just manufacturer defaults. Fewer than 1 in 5 audiology practices use this standard routinely. At Haynie Audiology, it is included with every fitting.

For Howell's large and growing senior population — many of whom have worn hearing aids for years without ever having a fitting properly verified — a consultation at Haynie Audiology often reveals that previous devices were never programmed correctly for their specific hearing loss. Real ear measurement gives patients answers, and the right programming gives them the benefit they should have had from the start. Dr. Haynie's credentials — Au.D., CCC-A, ABA — represent the highest level of clinical education and board recognition in audiology, available close to home in Freehold.

Audiology Best Practices

Regardless of which hearing aid brand is selected, success depends on following comprehensive best practices during the fitting process. We use Real Ear Measurement and Test Boxes to verify that your hearing aids are programmed correctly to your hearing loss prescription, not just manufacturer estimates— ensuring your hearing aids are performing correctly from day one and adjusted as your brain adapts to amplification over time.

We serve patients throughout Monmouth County including Manalapan, Marlboro, Howell, Middletown, Aberdeen, Hazlet, Colts Neck, Red Bank, and all surrounding communities.

Howell Schools and Families

The Howell Township Public Schools district serves students in PreK through grade 8 across 12 schools, with an enrollment of approximately 5,409 students — making it one of the largest K-8 districts in Monmouth County. The district's schools are spread across the township's residential neighborhoods, with the district office located on Squankum-Yellowbrook Road at the geographic heart of the township.

For high school, Howell students attend Howell High School as part of the Freehold Regional High School District — one of New Jersey's most recognized regional systems serving six municipalities across central Monmouth County.

For Howell families whose children show signs of listening difficulty — trouble following multi-step directions, difficulty concentrating in noisy classroom settings, or inconsistent academic performance despite clear ability — a central auditory processing disorder (APD) evaluation can identify the underlying cause. Dr. Haynie conducts comprehensive APD evaluations for children ages 7 and up, and works directly with families and school teams to communicate findings and support appropriate educational accommodations.
