One referral.
A connected plan.
A practical referral pathway for physicians, geriatricians, internists, ENTs, physical therapists, psychiatrists, senior-care and assisted-living teams, and other allied health professionals coordinating hearing care.
Fewer handoffs.
Clearer next steps.
We treat every referral as a reflection of your trust. The goal is a clinically appropriate visit, a useful report, and a plan that fits the patient’s broader care.
Doctor-Led Audiology
Every patient is evaluated by a Doctor of Audiology. Founder Eric G. Nelson, Au.D., CCC-A, is board certified and a former Weill Cornell Medicine audiology supervisor.
The Appropriate Setting
We coordinate Midtown Manhattan, Garden City, or concierge at-home care according to the patient’s clinical needs, mobility, location, and current availability.
Useful Reports Back
With the patient’s authorization, the referring professional can receive relevant findings, recommendations, and follow-up information.
Closed-Loop Coordination
When another medical or allied-health service is appropriate, we explain the next step and help the patient understand how it fits into the care plan.
Built around the
whole care team.
Hearing affects medical visits, rehabilitation, behavioral-health conversations, daily routines, and family communication. Coordination is always based on the patient’s permission and the information relevant to each professional’s role.
Geriatricians & internists
Evaluation results and communication recommendations can support the broader medical plan and help reduce avoidable misunderstandings.
ENT physicians
When medical assessment, specialized testing, or otologic management is appropriate, we support a clear handoff and relevant documentation.
Physical therapists
Audibility and communication strategies can help patients follow instructions and participate more confidently in rehabilitation.
Psychiatrists
Hearing difficulty can complicate conversation. Clarifying access needs may improve participation without replacing behavioral-health evaluation or treatment.
Senior care & assisted living
We can help authorized staff and caregivers understand device routines, communication strategies, and follow-up needs.
Allied health professionals
We coordinate relevant information with the professionals already helping the patient communicate, function, and participate in daily life.

Useful context in.
Useful answers out.
A concise referral is enough. These details help us prepare without asking the patient or caregiver to repeat the same story.

What we can report back

Send the concern.
We clarify the pathway.
Patients do not need to know which audiology service to request. A clear description of the concern gives our team a useful place to start.
Hearing Evaluation
Suspected hearing loss, communication difficulty, difficulty in noise, asymmetry, or the need for a baseline evaluation.
Tinnitus Evaluation
Ringing, buzzing, or sound sensitivity requiring audiologic assessment, education, and an appropriate management plan.
Hearing Aid Care
New hearing-aid candidates, patients struggling with current devices, or those needing programming, verification, maintenance, or repair.
Concierge Audiology
Patients in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or Nassau County who need care in a private home, senior-care community, or assisted-living setting.
Office precision.
At-home context.
Some patients benefit from specialized office equipment; others need the access and real-life context of home care. We help determine which setting is appropriate.
