Founder & Clinical Director

For over a decade, Dr. Eric Nelson has devoted his career to redefining what exceptional hearing care looks and feels like. A licensed audiologist in New York and New Jersey, Dr. Nelson is known for his clinical precision, compassionate approach, and ability to bridge advanced science with human connection.

Before founding Pinnacle Audiology, Dr. Nelson spent more than twelve years at Weill Cornell Medicine, where he rose to the role of Audiology Supervisor. There, he led patient care across a broad spectrum of complex cases, guided residents and doctoral students, and earned the trust of physicians across nearly every specialty. His tenure at Cornell not only shaped his expertise—it deepened his conviction that hearing care should extend far beyond devices and diagnostics.

Dr. Nelson holds national certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and is recognized for his commitment to evidence-based practice, mentorship, and innovation in the field of audiology.

The Vision

Pinnacle Audiology was founded on a simple yet powerful philosophy: that hearing care should be personal, flexible, and deeply human. Dr. Nelson envisioned a practice that blends the sophistication of modern technology with the comfort of individualized attention—where every patient is treated as a partner in their own hearing journey.

Operating from a Midtown Manhattan office near Madison Square Garden, as well as through in-home visits across the New York City area, Pinnacle Audiology provides comprehensive hearing evaluations, advanced hearing-aid fittings, and continuous personalized support. Each experience is designed to meet patients where they are, literally and figuratively.

A Standard of Excellence

Today, Pinnacle Audiology stands among New York City’s premier hearing care practices, recognized for its integrity, expertise, and enduring patient relationships. Dr. Nelson’s guiding principle is clear: to deliver clarity, trust, and transformative outcomes that help people not only hear better but live more fully.

At Pinnacle Audiology, you’re not just heard, you’re truly understood.
