Excellent service
I always have an excellent experience at my appointments with Live Better Hearing & Balance.
The situation was new to me and I was anxious and nervous. I do not know anyone in my family who had hearing problems. I also have a balance problem. Doctor Cole was very understanding and caring. She is a great Doctor. I will recommend her to anyone who have a problem with hearing or balance issues. She is patient and very informative. A great Doctor. Thanks very much. Continue to do the great work you are doing. Blessings surround you and family and company.
Dr. Cindy Leeb and staff were very kind and helpful. All my concerns and questions were answered. I'm very pleased with the service I did receive. Thank you! And loving my new Hearing Aid!
Expert knowledge and service.
First I tried signing up with your portal. Very archaic. Gave up. When you have tap the year from 2026 to 1946 is ridiculous. Next you notification for appointments is way over kill. When you clean these matters up I’ll join your portal. Thanks, Jane Simonds
Very careful checking hearing aids. All questions answered.
The audiologist was very open in explaining what was being done and the results.
I had my appointment with Dr. Robinson. She has been my audiologist for years, and your practice is fortunate to have her on your staff. Her care is exceptional and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hearing.
We are extremely pleased with the care our 97 year old mother has received. We appreciate the personal attention that is extended to her each time she is seen by LIVE Better Hearing.
I have always had a good experience during my visit at Live Better Hearing. The office coordinator greets me with hello and a smile. Dr Katz is always thorough, pleasant, and asks if there are any questions before I leave.
I've been a patient at Live Better Hearing (formerly Hearing Specialty Group) in Pasadena, MD for more than 10 years. Their world class hearing specialists/audiologists have helped me deal with my hearing loss and the changes in my hearing over the years. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who is experiencing hearing loss.
I do not give public feedback. However, my meeting with Dr. Kelly went extremely well. She is the only audiologist with Live better Hearing + Balance I would only recommend. She is attentive, friendly, informative and caring while maintaining a professional persona.
Excellent!
I was very pleased with the service at the new location. Dr Kelly was very professional and knowledgeable. The cleaning of my hearing aids was very helpful and my hearing test was painless.
They are addressing my issues in concerned & professionalway.
The experience was wonderful. I felt truly listened to and my questions were answered. Very friendly environment and convenient location.
Dr. Connatser made the whole process of getting hearing aids easy to do. I had no idea how much I really needed them. Thank you.
I felt comfortable and at ease with the appointment. Results were explained thoroughly and easy to understand. I would recommend to Live Better Hearing to family and friends.
Fantastic
Very comfortable
My experience has been wonderful. Everyone in your office is so welcoming and gracious when I come for an appointment. Even when I call with a question, I know that I am going to be helped. Some people don't want to admit that they need hearing aids, I tell them just how easy it is and that they just need to make that appointment. Everything is explained so carefully. It is so nice to be able to hear again and participate in conversations with family and friends.
As a Doctoral Resident, Ariella Ness presented as very capable and attentive to my comments. I complimented her on her listening skills and am confident that I was well served. Thank you for your help.
Jeff Zolt is the platinum standard when it comes to expertise on hearing. Have dealt with him for years and look forward to my twice a year checkups. He is the best of the best!!
Dr Blackmon was patient, flexible, communicative and kind. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an Audiologist.
Madeline was outstanding, explained everything really well. This was my second pair of aids, hoping to get six years out of these as well. Will definitely recommend to all my friends, and family. Thank you very much.
Appreciate your professional, comfortable atmosphere and gentle approach.
Great professional staff
Everything was great. I got new hearing aids today. Anders made sure that they were properly fitted, that I could hear well, paired ny new aids to my phone I would recommend Live Better Hearing to all my friends.
Thanks again for allowing me to come in with short notice to address my ongoing issue with my hearing aid!
