I’m so happy to have found Pinnacle Audiology because Eric is an exceptional audiologist. He approached my hearing issues with genuine care and thoughtfulness. He’s well versed in many different brands and even has samples to try in the office. Unlike past experiences where I was steered toward specific brands, Eric offered his expertise focused on my needs. Before I even arrived for my appointment, he had already customized the settings on several hearing aids based of my audiogram, so I could try them out immediately! As we talked, he picked up on subtle issues other audiologists had missed- and fixed them. The office itself has a warm and welcoming vibe that instantly puts you at ease.

Dr Nelson greets you personally in his private office that has all the modern equipment needed for a thorough audiology exam and more. I entered not thrilled with my first hearing aids that I had rarely worn. He let me try various brands and I went for the pair he had figured I would like. After he patiently tweaked and adjusted them, I walked out still skeptical but eager to try again. He did it. I went home with a brand new pair that I hardly noticed wearing. Conversation was clear; the TV didn’t need to be put on loud, and I wore them comfortably for a long day instead of ripping them out after a couple of hours. Dr Nelson is very attentive to subtle needs and is extremely patient. What other doctor these days lets you stay in his office as long as it takes?

Eric is a gifted and patient audiologist. I went deaf in one ear and needed a hearing aid in one ear. That is a very tricky situation for an audiologist. I met with Eric several times and he ordered two different types of almost invisible aides for me to try. He was so helpful in making sure I chose the right one and adjusting it several times over the course of three months to make sure the settings were perfect. He was very patient with me since the entire experience was new and there is an adjustment curve to the process. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind and caring. He is patient and highly qualified. He is simply superb!

I took my grandfather to meet Eric for a hearing test and a hearing aid consultation and he was honestly the best! My grandfather was hesitant and in denial about his hearing loss, but Eric was compassionate, and educated us about all options. He came highly recommended and I can see why.

Eric Nelson and his staff are extremely professional, informative, respectful and helpful. My experiences with Eric Nelson have been excellent, and I would recommend him to friends and family. In fact I have.

Wonderful, I’m so glad Eric Nelson is my doctor. I come from Florida every year for my check ups. He is very knowledgeable and caring. Being deaf in my one ear is a challenge, and he is very patient and shows compassion for my needs when adjustments need to be made!
