Doctor of Audiology

        Dr. Nelson is the founder of Hearing Health Centers and has been taking care of patients for over 35 years. He obtained his Masters Degree in Audiology from the University of Iowa and his Doctorate in Audiology from the Arizona School of Health Sciences.  He has a Certificate of Clinical Competency in Audiology from the American Speech/Language & Hearing Association, is a member of the Iowa Hearing Association (in which he has served as President), and is a fellow of the Academy of Doctors of Audiology. 

        Dr. Nelson began his career working as a teacher of the deaf.  He soon became interested in how he could help those individuals hear better with hearing aids.  “It has been amazing to see the huge advances in technology since I began my career.  When I became an audiologist 35 years ago, we were fitting hearing aids that had to be worn in a shirt pocket because they were too big to fit on an ear.  Now we have truly miniaturized hearing aids that people won’t even notice someone is wearing.  There is no doubt that we are now able to help our patients hear better than we ever have been able to before,” Dr. Nelson reports.
