Maya Silvan

Maya originally trained as a Speech and Language Therapist at undergraduate level, but was drawn early in her career towards audiology and hearing rehabilitation. This interest led her to complete a Master’s degree in Audiology at UCL, where her primary academic focus was on speech perception in cochlear implant users and the ways in which the brain interprets sound. From there, her clinical interests naturally expanded to include conditions affecting sound processing and sound tolerance, including tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia, often referred to as sound sensitivity or sound intolerance disorders.

In recent years, she has undertaken additional training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) as an evidence-based intervention for these conditions, enabling her to integrate psychological and audiological approaches to provide more holistic patient care. Alongside this, she is fully qualified and highly experienced in hearing aid assessment and fitting, working with a broad range of hearing aid technologies and hearing implants across both NHS and private practice settings.

She is particularly passionate about helping people rebuild confidence in listening, communication and engagement with everyday sounds, using a practical, compassionate and personalised approach to care.
