The symbolic solution can be further simplified for hillb^2>4a^2*f^2*Pi^2

soln2=Simplify[soln,hillb^2>4a^2*f^2*Pi^2]

(1/(2*f*Pi*Sqrt[hillb^2 - 4*a^2*f^2*Pi^2]))*
  (2*(f0 + hilla)*ArcTan[(2*a*f*Pi)/Sqrt[hillb^2 - 4*a^2*f^2*Pi^2]]*hillb^2 + 
   Pi*(f0*hillb*(Sqrt[hillb^2 - 4*a^2*f^2*Pi^2] - hillb) + 
     hilla*(-hillb^2 + Sqrt[hillb^2 - 4*a^2*f^2*Pi^2]*hillb - 
       4*a*f*Sqrt[hillb^2 - 4*a^2*f^2*Pi^2])))
