Comprehensive Hearing Care — Delivered to You
Most audiology practices require you to come to them. Pinnacle Audiology comes to you. Dr. Eric Nelson, Au.D. provides full hospital-quality audiological care — hearing tests, hearing aid fittings, tinnitus evaluation, vestibular assessment, and hearing aid maintenance — at your home, workplace, or assisted living community anywhere in New York City.
In-home audiology is not a lesser version of office care. It is complete, doctorate-level audiology delivered where you are most comfortable.
Who Benefits from In-Home Audiology?
Seniors and Older Adults
For older New Yorkers, getting to a medical appointment can mean navigating subway stairs, hailing cabs, or depending on family members. For many, the result is delayed care — or no care at all. In-home audiology eliminates those barriers entirely. Dr. Nelson brings all the diagnostic equipment needed for a complete evaluation directly to your door.
Residents of Assisted Living and Memory Care Communities
Residents of assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing communities often have the greatest need for hearing care — and the greatest difficulty accessing it. Untreated hearing loss is a documented risk factor for cognitive decline, social isolation, and depression. Pinnacle Audiology partners with residential communities across NYC to provide on-site audiology services for residents, including hearing screenings, full evaluations, hearing aid fittings, cleanings, and family consultations.
Patients Recovering from Surgery or Illness
Whether you are recovering from joint replacement, cardiac surgery, or serious illness, Dr. Nelson can evaluate and treat your hearing needs during your recovery — at home, on your schedule.
Busy Professionals and Executives
For professionals who cannot afford a half-day away from work, a home or office visit from Dr. Nelson means your hearing care fits your schedule rather than disrupting it.
Patients with Mobility Challenges
Hearing loss disproportionately affects people who already face other health challenges. Pinnacle Audiology’s in-home model ensures that mobility limitations are never a barrier to excellent hearing care.
Anyone Who Prefers the Convenience
You do not need a medical reason to choose in-home care. Many patients simply prefer the comfort and privacy of being evaluated at home — and getting hearing aids fitted in the environment where they actually live.
In-Home Services Available
Comprehensive Hearing Evaluations
Dr. Nelson uses portable, calibrated audiological equipment to perform a full hearing test in your home — the same assessment you would receive in a clinical setting, including pure-tone audiometry, speech discrimination testing, and middle-ear assessment.
Hearing Aid Consultations and Fittings
After your evaluation, Dr. Nelson reviews all hearing aid options appropriate for your hearing loss and lifestyle. Premium devices from Starkey, Phonak, ReSound, Widex, Oticon, and Signia are available. Devices are fitted, programmed, and fine-tuned using real-ear measurement in your home — in the actual acoustic environments where you live and communicate.
Fitting hearing aids in your own home is a significant advantage. The sounds and listening situations that matter most to you — your kitchen, TV room, dining table — are the environments in which your devices are optimized.
Hearing Aid Follow-Up and Adjustments
Ongoing hearing aid maintenance doesn’t require an office visit. Dr. Nelson provides in-home cleaning, programming adjustments, software updates, and troubleshooting.
Tinnitus Evaluations
Comprehensive tinnitus assessments — including pitch and loudness matching, the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, and treatment planning — are fully available in the home setting.
Vestibular Screenings
For patients experiencing dizziness or balance concerns who cannot safely travel, Dr. Nelson offers in-home vestibular screenings with appropriate referrals when specialized equipment is needed.
Hearing Aid Repairs
Many repairs — cleaning blocked receivers, replacing tubing, addressing moisture damage, programming corrections — can be performed on-site during a home visit without sending devices away.
Family Consultations
Dr. Nelson’s in-home visits often include family members, which improves outcomes: caregivers learn how to support hearing aid use, communication strategies are practiced in the actual home environment, and everyone leaves with a clear understanding of the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a home hearing test as accurate as a clinic test?
Yes, when performed by a qualified audiologist with calibrated portable equipment. Dr. Nelson uses professional-grade instruments that meet the same standards as clinic-based equipment.
Does insurance cover in-home visits?
Diagnostic audiological evaluations are often covered by insurance regardless of setting. We will review your benefits before your appointment.
Can hearing aids be fitted at home?
Yes — and for many patients, a home fitting is superior. Real-ear measurement and fine-tuning are performed in your own acoustic environment, producing better real-world outcomes from day one.
Can Dr. Nelson visit my parent at their assisted living facility?
Absolutely. Dr. Nelson regularly visits assisted living and memory care communities throughout NYC, working directly with residents, families, and community staff.
