Taylor Bender, Au.D.
Doctor of Audiology
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.
Her professional interests include educating patients on hearing loss and amplification needs, tinnitus management, and cochlear implants. 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. When they decided to treat their hearing loss their quality of life increased and were able to participate in family conversations again. This is when Taylor knew she wanted to provide the same experience for other individuals and their families.
Taylor grew up in Naperville, IL and currently resides in the northwest suburbs. In Taylors spare time she enjoys reading novels, being active playing sports, as well as spending quality time with her friends, family, and husband.
Taylor is a member of the American Academy of Audiology and is a Licensed Audiologist in the state of Illinois.
