For primary care, ENT, neurology, memory care, and cardiology teams: what to expect when you refer to us — and how we keep you in the loop on your patient's hearing care.
Every Pinnacle evaluation follows evidence-based, guideline-compliant standards — so your patient gets a defensible workup and you get a useful report.
Pure-tone air and bone conduction, word recognition, speech-in-noise testing, tympanometry, and acoustic reflexes as clinically indicated.
Every fitting is verified with real-ear measurement to prescriptive target — not left to software estimates.
Tinnitus pitch/loudness matching, THI, and masking thresholds where indicated. Red flags triaged for ENT referral.
A clean audiogram, interpretation, and recommendations delivered to your EMR or fax within 24–48 hours of the visit.
Sudden hearing loss, asymmetric loss, pulsatile tinnitus, disequilibrium — same-day communication with the referring team.
For older patients and memory-care referrals, we include baseline screening appropriate for audiology (e.g. HHIE-S, AudCog).
Four steps from referral to your report landing in the chart.
Fax, email, or EMR referral — or just have them call. Include any prior audiograms or imaging.
Most patients are seen within 5–7 business days. Urgent referrals (sudden loss, vertigo, asymmetry) within 48 hours.
Comprehensive audiometric and, if indicated, tinnitus workup. Patient counseling included.
Formal audiogram and interpretive note delivered to you within 24–48 hours. Red flags called same-day.
Your referral coordinators and clinical staff can reach us directly. For urgent clinical questions, please call.
