I don't doubt that he uses the NerveGear until the end of the ALO incident, but I do not recall any reference about him still using it later on in the series, as I'm pretty sure he started using an AmuSphere instead. I'm also not sure about him using the NerveGear for enhancing his abilities, as I believe that he just didn't want to waste time getting to go look for Asuna as soon as possible.
