• Brendan McAteer, Au.D.

Brendan McAteer is a licensed Doctor of Audiology and the founder of Waveform Audiology. A Hernando County resident, he grew up on the Nature Coast and now serves the same communities he was raised in - bringing full diagnostic hearing evaluations, expertly fitted hearing aids, and the follow-up that keeps them working, right to your door across the Nature Coast and north Tampa Bay.

Brendan earned his Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) from the University of South Florida in 2015 and brings over 11 years of clinical experience to every visit. Before audiology, he served in the United States Air Force from 2002 to 2006 - an experience that shaped the discipline, attention to detail, and steady bedside manner he brings to every home visit today.

He built Waveform on a simple belief: hearing care works best when it's unhurried, independent, and personal. No waiting rooms, no sales quotas, no pressure - just one audiologist who takes the time to understand your hearing, explains your options in plain language, and verifies every fitting with Real Ear Measurement.

Brendan is also a musician, and holds the Sensaphonics Gold Circle Music Audiologist credential - a distinction rare among audiologists. Because he understands hearing health from a performer's perspective, he brings that same expertise to musicians seeking custom in-ear monitors and hearing protection, as well as to every patient who simply wants to hear the people and sounds they love more clearly.

Because Waveform isn't tied to any single manufacturer, Brendan recommends only what genuinely fits your hearing, your lifestyle, and your budget — and he's the same person who answers your phone long after your devices are fitted.
