Mr Andriy Drypen

I graduated from the University of Southampton in 2008 with BSc Hons in Audiology.  I was very lucky to be one of the first students, whose degree entailed training across the whole field of Audiology,  including specialist focus on diagnostics and in-depth investigations of hearing and balance disorders.  Upon completion, I undertook further training at several hospitals in Kent, where I honed my skills in vestibular function testing and rehabilitation, as well as all aspects of paediatric Audiology.  Reflecting on my desire to help a wider population and raise awareness of Audiology, I further took part in several Audiology services planning, policymaking, implementation and on-going management. Thus all my patients benefit from a holistic approach developed through years of patient-facing and management experience in Audiology.

As well as delivering general Audiological services, I am highly experienced in complex hearing investigations, diagnostics and management of the vestibular (balance) system, and rehabilitation of hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis.  Working with the sophisticated hearing aid technology, I help patients to improve their quality of life through better hearing.  In addition to providing the latest rechargeable and Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, I am also able to fit the non-surgical BAHA and ADHEAR hearing devices.
