I’m sorry. I’m a private person so I don’t do reviews online but as I’ve said in the past Evelyne is extremely friendly and always has a smile when I walk in to the office. Dr Macdonald has been extremely helpful in fixing my hearing aids so I feel more comfortable wearing them on a regular basis. He is very friendly and knowledgeable and I appreciate being able to make appointments every 6 months for general cleaning. I am very happy to be a client. Thanks so much!

Dr. Adam saw me at the exact TIME OF MY APPOINTMENT. Cleaned both Hearing Aids, ( they were loaded with wax), updated a program on same that had recently become available, checked to make sure the Aids were functioning properly and sent me on my way, in less than 30 minutes, all with a smile and good cheer.

Doctor fully explained features of hearing aids and patiently explained how to apply those features.

Louise

January 21, 2026

Dr. Scott MacDonald of LBH&B tested me to see if my hearing loss supported the surgery required to install a cochlear implant. I considered my hearing loss to be significant because without my current devices it was extremely difficult to understand words in general and in group conversation. There was a sharp decline in my hearing loss during the past year. My current hearing professionals consider LBH&B to be the ultimate source for testing to determine the need for the surgery. Much to my surprise, this testing involved very similar testing except this testing was with my current hearing aids in place. With my current devices on, there was a satisfactory percentage of words recognized. Thus the decision was that I simply needed aids with improved technology. Dr. Scot described all aspects of hearing and the use of various devices. His testing procedure was totally comfortable and I have full confidence in his evaluation. All aspects of his skill in a clean & pleasant professional setting was stress free. I heartily recommend working with him regarding any aspect of hearing and balance.

Patricia

Arthur

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

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
