I’m Dr Gladys Sanda, a Clinical Doctor of Audiology based in London, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a hearing aid dispenser. With over a decade of experience, I specialise in the assessment and management of tinnitus and hyperacusis, using evidence-based approaches drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, relaxation techniques, and hearing amplification when appropriate.

My career spans both leadership and frontline clinical care. I’ve worked in some of London’s most respected private clinics in the Harley Street district and served as Clinical Director for a national audiology provider, overseeing more than 15 practices across the UK. I’ve also published in international journals, contributed to book chapters and professional magazines, and regularly support ongoing clinical education in this field.

I’m also the author of the Amazon bestselling book, Beyond the Noise, written as a resource for those still waiting for tinnitus support or struggling to access the care they deserve.
