Our Story
The Foundation grew out of what we saw every day in our clinics. We met grandparents who could not hear their grandkids. We saw hard working adults lose job opportunities because they could not afford hearing aids. We saw teenagers hide their hearing problems because the cost of care made help feel out of reach.
It became obvious that hearing healthcare was set up in a way that left entire groups of people behind. We were not willing to accept a system where only some people get to hear.
So we built something different. We created a charitable organization that removes the financial barrier and gives people access to the hearing care they deserve. Free hearing aids. Free testing. Real follow up support. Real outcomes.
At its core, the Live Better Foundation exists to close the gap and give people their lives back.

Transforming Lives Through Accessible Hearing Healthcare
Everyone deserves the chance to hear their world.
The Live Better Foundation was created with a simple truth in mind: hearing should never depend on someone’s bank account. After years of caring for patients who were forced to choose between groceries and hearing aids, our team decided to remove that barrier for good.
We provide free hearing aids, fittings, and follow-up care to people who would otherwise go without. Because when someone can finally hear again, it changes far more than sound. It changes their life.
Our Mission: Restore connection, dignity, and opportunity.
Each year, we host community events where qualified individuals receive professional hearing healthcare at no cost. Beyond the events, we stay with each recipient for the long haul, offering:
• Free hearing aids and custom fittings
• Discounted follow-up visits in our clinical offices
• Personalized adjustments to ensure the technology works for them
• Long-term support based on each person’s unique needs
Why this work matters: Hearing isn’t a luxury. It is the foundation of connection, safety, and independence. When someone receives the hearing healthcare they have been missing, the impact is immediate and profound. Recipients tell us they can:
• Reconnect with family and friends
• Return to work or stay employed
• Participate confidently in their communities
• Improve mental health and overall quality of life
• Maintain independence and avoid isolation
Better hearing strengthens entire communities. One person at a time.
Ways to Help
There are many ways to get involved and support our cause. You can make a monetary donation, become a volunteer, or even donate a set of hearing aids that you no longer use. Whatever you choose, know that your contribution will make a difference in the lives of those in need.
