A toilet seat hinge that includes a hinge base mountable to a toilet and including a body having a bore; a hinge pin having a first portion disposed in the bore and a second portion that extends outside of the bore, where the hinge pin is rotatable relative to the body; a damper; and a clip. The damper includes a sleeve rotatably mounted on the first portion and an arm extending radially outward from the sleeve. The clip is disposed in the bore between the body and the damper, and the damper is rotatable relative to the clip such that in a first relative position, the arm is compressed a first amount by the clip to provide a first damping force, and in a second relative position, the arm is compressed a second amount, which is greater than the first amount, by the clip to provide a second damping force.
