Hearing Care for Ocean Township Residents

Ocean Township residents have convenient access to best-practice audiology care at Haynie Audiology & Hearing Associates — located at 31 West Main Street in downtown Freehold, accessible via Route 35 or Route 18 heading west. Officially known as the Township of Ocean and proudly bearing the motto "The Community of Gracious Living," Ocean Township is a suburban community of nearly 30,000 residents in eastern Monmouth County — bordered by West Long Branch to the north, Tinton Falls to the west, and the Shore communities of Neptune and Asbury Park to the south.

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 comprehensive hearing evaluations to real ear measurement-verified hearing aid fittings to in-home audiology for Ocean Township's senior residents, Haynie Audiology delivers evidence-based hearing care that this community's residents expect and deserve.

The Ocean Township Community

Ocean Township has no central downtown — and this absence is itself a defining feature. Its nearly 30,000 residents live in neighborhoods that still bear strong sectional identities, with locals as likely to say they live in Oakhurst, Wanamassa, or Wayside as they are to say "Ocean Township." This dispersion is reflected in the township's five different ZIP codes and its geographic sections: Oakhurst, Wanamassa, Wayside, Colonial Terrace, West Allenhurst, Deal Park, Shadowlawn Manor, and Elberon Park each carry their own history and character.

Oakhurst — where Town Hall sits at the corner of Deal and Monmouth Roads — emerged as the township's first village, evolving from a community of tradesmen serving the resort mansions along the nearby shore into a residential and commercial hub. Wanamassa developed as a densely populated residential community served by small commercial districts, shaped in large part by returning veterans who bought homes there after World War II. The Library and Historical Museum at the west end of the 240-acre Joe Palaia Park in West Deal form the cultural heart of the township — a gathering place that reflects Ocean Township's commitment to community and civic identity. The township's outstanding public amenities — an expansive park system, community pool and tennis facility, municipal gym, and nine-hole golf course — have consistently supported property values and quality of life across its neighborhoods.

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.

Ocean Township Schools and Families

The Ocean Township School District is a comprehensive community public school district serving students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade across 5 schools, with an enrollment of 3,263 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9.8:1 — one of the strongest ratios among K-12 districts in the region. The district office is located at 163 Monmouth Road in Oakhurst. Ocean Township High School, located at 550 West Park Avenue and home to the Spartans, serves high school students from across the township's diverse neighborhoods.

The township is also in close proximity to Monmouth University, located in the Borough of West Long Branch at Ocean Township's northern border — providing higher education access for Ocean Township students and families within minutes of home.

For Ocean Township families with children showing signs of listening difficulty — difficulty following verbal instructions, inconsistent academic performance despite evident ability, or challenges in group learning environments — a central auditory processing disorder (APD) evaluation provides diagnostic answers that a standard hearing test alone cannot offer. Dr. Haynie conducts comprehensive APD evaluations for children ages 7 and up and communicates findings directly with families and the Ocean Township School District team to support appropriate accommodations.

Senior Residents in Ocean Township

Ocean Township's diverse neighborhoods include several senior-friendly resources serving the township's older population across its various sections.

Millennium Memory Care at Ocean, located at 111 Bowne Road in Ocean Township, is a specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care community — a beautifully designed residential setting with 16 bedrooms decorated in soft, warm neutral colors and large windows filled with natural light, set within a professionally landscaped exterior. Heritage Village at Ocean at 400 Stacey Drive is a 55+ apartment community nestled in a secluded, tranquil, preserved wooded setting with acres of mature trees — offering spacious one-bedroom homes with central air, gas heat, large walk-in closets, washers and dryers, a pool, tennis courts, and a community clubhouse.

For Ocean Township seniors who prefer audiological care at home, Haynie Audiology provides in-home audiology services throughout all sections of the township — bringing hearing evaluations, hearing aid fittings with real ear measurement verification, follow-up care, and hearing aid maintenance directly to the patient's home or senior living community.
