Very nice and knowledgeable guy. Took his time explaining everything which I appreciated as someone still new to hearing aids and the idea of them.

I had a follow-up phone appointment with Dr. Nelson that was SO thorough and SO VERY reassuring. I needed his medical expertise to address some tinitus I’ve experienced and he not only gave me all the info I needed, but was also great about helping me integrate this issue with the ongoing experience of new hearing aids. This was particularly useful as I had also consulted an ear specialist and I didn’t want redundancies in care. I really appreciated all Dr. Nelson’s remarks and suggestions and felt much clearer about the care I needed now and for the future. It was such a positive experience!

Great first visit. Dr Eric Nelson did an excellent job diagnosing and fitting of my first pair of hearing aids. Actually about 8 years ago I got tested but I wasn’t thrilled with what was available at that time so I retuned them within a few days. This time I can tell I’ll be happy with them.

I had an excellent follow-up appointment today with Dr. Eric Nelson at Pinnacle Audiology. He patiently fine-tuned my hearing aids, resulting in a more natural and balanced sound. He also provided, easy-to-understand maintenance training, which gave me the confidence to properly care for my devices.

If you’re considering hearing aids or need adjustments to your current pair, I highly recommend Pinnacle Audiology.

I returned to Dr. Nelson for an adjustment for hearing aids. We swapped the cones for a larger size and he also readjusted the settings to a bit higher. He is very amiable and would make anyone feel at ease. The experience of seeing him is always quite enjoyable. He makes one feel right at home and doesn’t gush you out the door. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Eric Nelson is the best audiologist I have ever experienced in the 10 years that I’ve been using hearing aids. He is quite knowledgeable and gives information with clarity. He also possesses excellent bedside manners. I highly recommend him.

I met Dr. Eric Nelson socially, and during our conversation he mentioned that he was an audiologist. I was intrigued and asked him a few questions, which eventually led me to book an appointment with him.

When I arrived at his beautifully designed, well-lit office, he greeted me warmly and made me feel immediately at ease. He explained what the consultation would involve and the types of tests he would perform. First, he conducted an eardrum test using a specialized tool. Then he had me sit inside a sound-isolation booth and placed headphones over my ears while he played various tones to assess my hearing levels. The entire process was straightforward and easy to follow, and I’m really glad I decided to get tested.

Afterward, he walked me through my results, explained exactly where I stood in terms of my hearing, and discussed in great detail the options available to me — including different types of hearing aids. He even helped me set up the hearing-assistive features on my Apple AirPods Pro 3.

I highly recommend Dr. Nelson’s care to anyone even remotely curious about their hearing. He was incredibly kind, thorough, and detail-oriented throughout the entire consultation. A 10-star experience for sure!
