About Us

Every webpage of a company has an about us page telling potential customers or in our case potential patients about the practice. If you want to read up on the qualifications and experience of our team members or the history of the practice you are welcome to scroll down. But if you want to read about us, it is better to explain who our patients are.
In this practice it really is not about us, it is about our patients.

If we could summarise our patients in one word it would be BRAVE.

Let me tell you why…

Ilouise le Roux graduated as a speech language pathologist and audiologist in 2005 at the University of Pretoria. After completion of her community service year at Kalafong hospital she worked till 2009 at Universitas Tertiary hospital. She established Ilouise le Roux private practice in 2009. In 2010 she completed her masters degree with a research study that developed an evaluation tool to identify parents need for information and emotional support before a cochlear implant for their child. She was selected as one of 10 therapists in South Africa to receive a bursary in Auditory Verbal therapy presented by Warren Estrabooks for a year. This opportunity lead to development of The Listening and Spoken Language South Africa training programme where she has been a mentor in the program since 2011.  She has recently started with preparation to become AVT certified under the mentorship of Karen McIver Lux. Although her passion lies with children with hearing loss she is passionate about the profession of audiology and speech therapy especially the paediatric population.  She believes that the practice is based on delivering a service to parents and their children and to adults where everybody is treated with professionalism, kindness, empathy and respect.

Luschano completed her community service year at Pelonomi Tertiary Hospital in Bloemfontein in 2020 where she had diverse exposure in providing the necessary audiological services to both the paediatric and adult population. After her community service year she worked at Carel du Toit Special School for children with hearing loss in Bloemfontein, where she gained further skills focusing on the paediatric audiology population.

Working closely with Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists she has a special interest in diagnostic hearing evaluation for clinical management while working in a multidisciplinary team. She also has a special interest in furthering her knowledge within vestibular diagnostic testing and rehabilitation.

However, the most rewarding experience of being an audiologist is noticing how big a difference a small technologically advanced hearing aid device can make in a patient’s quality of life in a mere second of turning a hearing aid on. That is why she is passionate about being an audiologist.

“Currently our ears are carrying our headphones, sunglasses, sometimes glasses and a face mask. Ears are the new purse and an everyday necessity we need to look after in order to have access to the world around us.” – Therefore as an Audiologist, she is proud to say that she is “hear” to play an important role in each and every one of her patients life’s that crosses paths with her.”

Cornelia obtained her masters degree in 2019 from the University of Pretoria, with a research study about parental involvement and the use of a mobile application targeting emergent literacy. She had completed her community service year in 2020 at Witbank General Hospital in Mpumalanga. During her community service year, she has gained experience in a variety of speech and language disorders and working in a multidisciplinary team. She has worked with paediatric and adult populations. Cornelia is passionate about paediatric and adult dysphagia as well as adult neurogenic disorders while paediatric speech and language difficulties are becoming a growing interest.

Speech therapy is her calling as she finds joy in making a difference in others life’s. She truly strives to go above and beyond for every patient she has the privilege of building a relationship with.
