Dr Yovina Khiroya-Morjaria is a highly qualified, internationally trained doctor of audiology (AuD).

After graduating from De Montfort University in 2014, Yovina worked in private practice in Banbury. She then made the move to Melbourne, Australia, to study at University of Melbourne, one of the world’s top universities, for her Master’s in Clinical Audiology. Yovina returned to England in 2018 to work in the NHS as an advanced paediatric audiologist, specialising in complex cases. She then had the pleasure of working for Phonak, one of the leading hearing aid manufacturers, as a regional sales manager and audiology trainer. During this time, she also studied part-time for her clinical doctorate with Nova Southeastern University. After Yovina got married, she returned to private practice on Harley Street before setting up her own practice here in Stanmore.
Philanthropy
In 2011, Yovina visited Uganda on a medical mission that treated over 10,000 patients over a two week period. During this time, she assisted in the ENT department. Following this, Yovina volunteered with the Royal National Institute for the Deaf. This involved running hearing aid clinics to help service peoples hearing aids and solve any issues they might be having where they cannot make it to their local NHS audiology department.
Yovina has also worked as an audiology representative for the Teddy Bear Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. This programme helps children overcome fears or anxiety regarding health professionals and the hospital environment.
In 2020, Yovina had the opportunity to travel to Kijabe, Kenya, with the Hear the World Foundation. At the AIC Kijabe Hospital, Yovina and a team of volunteers worked to train their audiology team on hearing technology and diagnostic testing techniques. During the week-long trip, thousands of patients from across Kenya were tested and treated for hearing loss.
