Taylor Bender, Au.D. | Clinical Audiologist

Taylor Bender received her Doctorate of Audiology from Northern Illinois University in May 2021 and earned her bachelor’s degree in communication science and disorders at University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

She has completed 6 different clinical rotations through her doctoral program in settings such as an ENT, private practices, and National Institute on Aging with school aged children.

Taylor’s passion for audiology began when she witnessed two of her own family members struggle with the effects of untreated hearing loss.

This is when Taylor knew she wanted to provide the same experience for other individuals and their families.
