Columbus Speech & Hearing

Columbus Speech & Hearing is a speech therapist practice in Columbus, OH, located at 510 E N Broadway St. The practice was founded by former audiologists from the original Columbus Speech & Hearing organization, which served central Ohio for generations. When the original organization closed in early 2026, these providers came together to reopen in their familiar offices, ensuring that patients could continue receiving care from the same team. The practice is the official custodian of former Columbus Speech & Hearing patient records, holding them under HIPAA regulations to preserve continuity of care. The team consists of five audiologists, including Dr. Abbey Bavaro, who serves as co-owner in the Dublin office. They provide doctor-led audiology services for both adults and children, focusing on comprehensive hearing evaluations, hearing aid fittings, and tinnitus management.

The clinical approach emphasizes evidence-based recommendations and careful, detailed care. Comprehensive hearing evaluations take approximately one hour, during which results are explained in detail without pressure to make immediate decisions. Every hearing aid fitting includes real-ear measurement, verified to published clinical standards, using brands such as Phonak, Oticon, Starkey, Widex, ReSound, and Unitron. The practice also offers specialized testing including otoacoustic emissions, tympanometry, and middle ear testing, which are essential for pediatric diagnostics. Tinnitus support is provided for patients dealing with persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming. The team is dedicated to maintaining the high standards of care that local families have relied upon for decades, serving as a locally provider-owned clinic dedicated entirely to hearing healthcare.

The location sits on East North Broadway, just a short distance from Indianola Avenue. The area is characterized by nearby natural features and green spaces, including Walhalla Creek about a quarter of a mile away. Colerain Park and Clinton Heights Park are each approximately a third of a mile from the office, while Brevoort Park is about a half-mile away. These landmarks place the practice in a residential and recreational setting within Columbus.

The business holds a rating of 4.90 based on customer reviews, reflecting a positive reception from those who have sought care there. This high rating aligns with the practice's focus on maintaining long-standing relationships with patients and providing consistent, high-quality audiology services. The team’s deep roots in Columbus and their commitment to preserving the care standards of the original practice contribute to their standing in the local community.

Columbus Speech & Hearing stands as a dedicated hearing care provider in Columbus, OH, where the continuity of patient relationships and clinical expertise define its service to the community.
