Live Better Foundation's Philadelphia Gift of Hearing Event

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.

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.

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.

The Midlothian team is very responsive to an individual’s needs making every effort minimize impact of hardware issues or changes in hearing. Dr Sutter is pleasant to interact with and strives to understand one’s current state of hearing before making adjustments or recommending alternatives.
