I've always found LBH people to be professional, courteous, and helpful. I came to LBH in October 2023 needing to be tested for hearing loss in both ears. The findings established that I did require two hearing aids. The options were explained to me in a clear and understandable language. I purchase the hearing aids and have been very satisfied ever since. The few times I've had to visit LBH I've been very happy with each visit. I highly recommend LBH for anyone looking for solving their hearing loss. NO SIGNATURE

My office appointment with Dr. Holly Forst was quick and easy. She tested my hearing and did some maintenance on my hearing aids. She reassured me that my hearing condition was not getting worse at this time and she said to contact her if I had any hearing issues before the next appointment.

At the Ellicott City, Dr. Cole was patient and through, took great care to explain how to use and care for the aid. I can go places and not fill ashamed, when people have to repeat or shout. I now enjoy going to church as I can hear the minister loud and clear. Will recommend her to my friends and family.

I am on my 3rd set of hearing aids so you know ai have been with Holli and Maryanne a long time. All of my experiences with Holli and Maryanne since they opened the business after leaving Abington Hospital have been professional, positive and wonderful. We put our trust in them, followed them here and they delivered. Roni(Sp? sorry), in the office has helped me on the phone many times and she is always lovely. Now enters Marisa,...Fantastic addition! Professional, caring and helpful. She has come up with new inventive ways to help me connect to all of my televisions, which helps to me enjoy different rooms in my house. When I need help, everyone always gets me in asap and solve the problem. I always have a great visit! By the way, I travel from Cheltenham Township to Warminister, so you know I am happy or I would go somewhere much closer to home. Warm Regardes, Betsy Conway
