Listen 2 Life Hearing Centers
Leading the World of Audiology Services and Diagnostics

A

leading family-owned and operated independent establishment, Listen 2 Life Hearing Centers (L2L) is ideally positioned to offer individualized patient care. Its expertise entails a full range of services, including comprehensive hearing examinations, speech in noise testing, hearing aid evaluations, fittings, tune-ups, calibration, and repairs. L2L is comprised of a dedicated team of meticulously selected audiologists and hearing instrument specialists who bring their extensive expertise, making it a premium choice for audiology services in the greater Philadelphia region.

“Each of our services is administered by the area’s top audiologists and hearing instrument specialists who are passionate about delivering exceptional patient care, building long-term relationships, and ensuring patient satisfaction for the wearing life of hearing aids,” says Shawn Guido, founder of L2L.

L2L’s patient-centric approach, rooted in active listening and collaborations, builds a foundation for its excellence while the distinctive way of implementing this approach differentiates it from other centers. Audiologic assessments at L2L begin with an extensive case history, which allows providers to better understand a patient’s concerns, symptoms, and goals regarding their visits. The case history is followed by an otoscopic examination to rule out correctable variables, such as ear wax or medical concerns like otitis media or otomycosis.

The next step in L2L’s comprehensive evaluation process consists of the frequency-specific pure tone testing to ascertain the auditory thresholds. The provider obtains air conduction and bone conduction thresholds to diagnose the degree, configuration, and type of hearing loss.

Speech reception testing confirms the validity of pure tone responses, while speech discrimination testing determines word understanding. Further testing may be conducted to investigate a patient’s sound tolerance or speech understanding in noise. The results of audiometric testing can grant insight into the potential impacts hearing loss may have on communication and cognition. These multifaceted insights are curated to better understand patients’ issues and establish expectations.

This is followed by the education and counseling phase, where L2L team discusses the relevant solutions, referrals, or in-house treatments, such as tinnitus management systems or hearing instruments. If hearing instruments are prescribed treatment, patients will observe a month-long trial period to ensure technology integration across different environments. Weekly check-ins during this trial period enables fine-tuning and real ear measurements to optimize sound amplification, ensuring optimal results for each patient.

L2L offers LifeTime Aftercare (LTA) for all hearing aids, including service, maintenance, and annual hearing tests, at no additional cost for the lifetime of the hearing aid. This showcases L2L’s dedication to providing an exceptional patient experience.

The below-unsolicited patient testimonial best illustrates the company’s dedication to excellence:

“The entire team, including Shawn Guido, was outstanding. My audiologist, Dr. Monica Cramer, went above and beyond to make sure my new hearing aids were working just right for me. So personal and professional, I will always recommend L2L,” says Thomas J., a resident of Harleysville, PA, praising the exceptional services delivered by the team at L2L.

L2L is home to numerous similar testimonies and has earned the trust of local physicians who continue to recommend L2L. Their commitment to transparency, combined with a patient-centric approach, makes their hearing centers a reliable partner for healthcare professionals across Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery counties.

L2L is dedicated to spreading awareness of the progressive nature of hearing loss and the importance of timely intervention. “Our providers coordinate annual Healthy Hearing Seminars and other educational events at facilities throughout the region to ensure people are aware of the signs and symptoms associated with hearing loss,” says Guido. L2L upholds its legacy and stays at the forefront of delivering exceptional care and ongoing support to help individuals live their lives to the fullest.
