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.

Answered all of my questions clearly and concisely. The ladies at the front desk have also been very helpful. They also do a great job of contacting me to let me know about upcoming appointments.

I had a very positive experience at the Waldorf clinic with Dr. Madison Knodell. I felt very comfortable and well taken care of from the moment I arrived. Dr. Knodell was very professional, kind, and thorough during my ear and balance evaluation. Although I am not fluent in English, the staff made sure to find interpreters so that I could fully understand everything. I truly appreciated that. I especially liked the way Dr. Knodell explained everything to me clearly, including what she evaluated during my examination and the results. She took the time to make sure I understood everything and explained everything in a very professional and caring way. I am very grateful for the care and attention I received. I highly recommend the Waldorf clinic and Dr. Madison Knodell for their professionalism, kindness, and excellent patient care.
