Meet Pamela Nelson

Dr. Pamela Shattuck Nelson is a licensed and certified audiologist, and the owner of Quality Hearing and Audiology. She specializes in serving adults with all types of hearing loss, offering comprehensive diagnostic services and a wide range of treatment options. “Hearing is important because it affects every aspect of our lives. When you improve your hearing you can communicate better with your loved ones – it improves your relationships, your work experience – your whole quality of life. It’s incredibly rewarding to see my patients experience this as their hearing improves.”

Dr. Nelson’s communication style is transparent and direct. She loves getting to know her patients personally throughout the diagnosis and treatment process. As the daughter of a South Dakota farmer, she’s seen the effects of noise-related hearing loss in her own family, and especially enjoys being able to help members of the local agricultural community overcome these challenges.

When she’s not seeing patients you’ll find Dr. Nelson spending time with her husband and two rescue canines, Mari and Hazel. An avid sports fan, she enjoys going to local events, especially when the KC Royals play a hometown game. Travel is another passion and she recently returned from a trip to Scandinavia. She enjoys living in St. Joseph and the surrounding community. She is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Sertoma Club and she donates hearing services to underserved communities via Help America Hear.
