Audiologist Dr. Robin Wielins founded Island Audiology & Hearing Aid Centers in Honolulu in 2005 and later expanded to Kauai and Kona. She serves as Clinical Director to ensure all patients receive quality care through audiology best practices. Originally from Orlando, Florida, Dr. Wielins was among the University of Florida’s first graduates of the on-campus Au.D. program in 2001. Her goal is to make others’ lives more enjoyable through hearing more easily. With no audiology program in the state, Dr. Wielins is proud to increase hearing care access in Hawaii by mentoring doctoral externs from mainland universities. Outside the clinic, she enjoys yoga, bicycling, and swimming in the ocean.
