Who doesn’t love these two heart-warming tales of friendship, difference, and teamwork – as well as “misfits” who save Christmas? Beloved by generations, the story of Rudolph comes to the stage with a colorful production and fantastic music. Let this holiday story remind us that “what makes you different can also make you special.” Similarly, Charlie Brown feels disillusioned about the materialistic side of Christmas, but still, with his little fir tree, tries to restore the spirit of the season with his best friends.

Your sense of hearing connects you to the sounds of festivity as well as your loved ones. Leaving hearing loss untreated can be incredibly isolating – something we don’t want this holiday season, or any other time of the year, for that matter. This holiday season, give the gift of hearing. If you’ve been experiencing changes in your hearing, contact us at Neighborhood Hearing Centers.
