Live Better Hearing + Balance recently provided free hearing aids to more than 30 Philadelphia residents at our Gift of Hearing event in Germantown.
The event drew coverage from CBS 3 Philadelphia, NBC 10, and Fox 29. Patients like 55-year-old Modesa James, who heard clearly for the first time in decades, and 94-year-old Winifred Jones, who declared "I can't wait to go dancing," experienced life-changing moments when sound returned to their lives.
This event reflects Live Better Hearing + Balance's commitment to the Philadelphia community and our mission to ensure no one is denied quality hearing healthcare due to cost.

They are always friendly and quickly address any of my concerns. Not a hurry up and get you out type of office. I'm happy with my choice to go to this office. If you think you need hearing aids I recommend try them out
Everyone was very professional, very friendly, and answered all my questions.
It was informative and fantastic as usual.I haven’t seen Dr Cushing in a very long time. I can’t believe that I didn’t know about the closed caption option on my phone. It would have been greatly helpful, with various phone calls. It will be greatly helpful. I am a long time client, and have recommended Dr Cushing to my friends.
Anders is the best!
This was a very brief visit for 1 of my aids to be sent back to the manufacturer for a thoro cleaning prior to its warranty expiring. My experiences with this ofc have always been positive, effective and efficient. Both Jeff and Karen are totally familiar with their products and their genuine interest and caring is apparent. They always have the time and patience to help and their attitudes are pleasant without exception.
All went well the doctor was very patient with me. I was fitted for new hearing aides. I can go back in 2 weeks for a follow up appointment. A detailed explanation of how to use the hearing aides and clean them was given to me.
OK, 1st time here.
