Hearing Care for Old Bridge Residents

Old Bridge Township residents in Middlesex County have 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 south via Route 9. Old Bridge and Freehold are natural partners in the healthcare landscape of central New Jersey — linked by the same Route 9 corridor that has connected these communities for generations, and sharing a border that makes Haynie Audiology one of the most accessible doctoral-level audiology practices available to Old Bridge residents.

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 hearing aid fittings verified with real ear measurement to in-home audiology for Old Bridge's senior residents, Haynie Audiology delivers evidence-based hearing care to one of Middlesex County's largest and most diverse communities.

The Old Bridge Community

Old Bridge Township is one of Middlesex County's largest municipalities — a sprawling township of approximately 68,000 residents spread across more than 40 square miles of suburban neighborhoods, waterfront communities, and preserved open space. Formerly known as Madison Township until its renaming in 1975, Old Bridge has grown from a collection of rural villages into a community of distinct, well-established neighborhoods each carrying its own character.

Laurence Harbor — Old Bridge's waterfront community along Raritan Bay — is one of the township's most storied neighborhoods. Named for land developer Laurence Lamb who built a 400-acre shorefront golf and country club there in the early 20th century, Laurence Harbor has been frequented by the likes of Clark Gable, Guy Lombardo, the Prince of Wales, and the Vanderbilt family. A boardwalk with a dance hall, casino, band shell, and carousel provided entertainment through the 1940s. Today, Laurence Harbor offers 70 acres of beachfront on Raritan Bay — with beaches, playgrounds, fishing, and Paul's Beach boardwalk — alongside unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline that make it one of the most distinctive coastal neighborhoods in Middlesex County. Cheesequake State Park, at 1,600 acres adjacent to the township, provides hiking, camping, and natural habitat that draws residents and visitors from across the region. Old Bridge Township Raceway Park — a legendary drag racing venue from 1965 to 2018 — is now being developed as a destination for outdoor concerts, reflecting the township's creative approach to its own history.

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.

Old Bridge Schools and Families

The Old Bridge Township Public Schools is a comprehensive K-12 district consistently recognized as one of the strongest school systems in Middlesex County — ranked No. 5 in the county by Niche with an overall Grade A rating. The district's commitment to student success has earned national recognition through the National Title I Distinguished Schools program, with Cheesequake Elementary School recognized for exceptional student performance in two or more consecutive years — a distinction reflecting the district's ability to achieve strong outcomes across its diverse student population.

For Old Bridge families with children who show signs of listening difficulty — difficulty following verbal instructions, inconsistent academic performance despite clear ability, or challenges in group settings — a central auditory processing disorder (APD) evaluation provides the diagnostic answers that a standard hearing test alone cannot. Dr. Haynie conducts comprehensive APD evaluations for children ages 7 and up and communicates findings directly with families and school teams to support appropriate accommodations.

Senior Living in Old Bridge Township

Old Bridge Township is home to several senior care facilities serving its large and diverse senior population. Roosevelt Care Center at Old Bridge at 1133 Marlboro Road is a 180-bed, long-term, subacute, Alzheimer and dementia care facility managed by Complete Care — opened in October 2011 by the Middlesex County Improvement Authority with an eco-friendly design and featuring the latest innovations in senior care. Located near the Route 9 and Route 18 intersection, Roosevelt Care Center serves Old Bridge seniors across multiple levels of care including subacute rehabilitation, long-term care, and a secure second-floor unit specifically designed for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia.

Reformed Church Home provides assisted living for up to 54 Old Bridge seniors in a community-based residential setting. Summer Hill Nursing Home offers skilled nursing care for up to 120 seniors within the township. Cheesequake Village, conveniently located near the Garden State Parkway and Cheesequake State Park, provides 55+ active adult living with a pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and shuffleboard — reflecting Old Bridge's commitment to serving its seniors at every level of independence.

For Old Bridge seniors who prefer audiological care at home, Haynie Audiology provides in-home audiology services — 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.

Why Old Bridge Patients Choose Haynie Audiology

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

Old Bridge has a deep connection to motorsports through the Old Bridge Township Raceway Park — one of the East Coast's most celebrated drag racing venues for over five decades. The acoustic environment of a drag racing event generates some of the highest noise levels of any sport, with direct hearing damage risk for drivers, crew members, and regular spectators who attended races over the years without hearing protection. For Old Bridge residents whose hearing history includes raceway attendance or any other regular high-noise environment, a comprehensive hearing evaluation is a meaningful first step. Custom hearing protection is available at our Freehold office for motorsports enthusiasts and anyone in high-noise occupations or recreational environments. Dr. Haynie's credentials — Au.D., CCC-A, ABA — represent the highest level of clinical education and board recognition in audiology, accessible from Old Bridge via a quick Route 9 drive south.
