Resident placement after graduation:
I’m thankful to have completed my residency year with Live Better Hearing + Balance because the team thoughtfully embraced the learning curve and actively supported me as a young professional. Each day provided a new learning opportunity, and I am a more well-rounded audiologist because of my experiences.
During my residency at Live Better Hearing + Balance, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of hearing aid manufacturers and mastered the programming of various devices. I managed an independent schedule, which fostered significant professional growth and confidence. At the same time, I had the support of an experienced audiologist for challenging cases, creating a supportive environment that was instrumental in my development as a well-rounded clinician.
If I could go back and make my fourth year decision all over again, I would come back to Live Better Hearing in a heartbeat. The experience was everything I needed it to be - the right mix of independence and support when needed. I was thrilled to find a placement that truly follows evidenced-based care.

Our teaching practice is dedicated to fostering the next generation of audiologists through comprehensive training, mentorship, and hands-on experience. We are a private practice.
