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. Her expertise in cochlear implants is profound, having been a member of the Bloemfontein Cochlear Implant Team since 2006. In 2022, she achieved prestigious certification as a Listening and Spoken Language Specialist (LSLS) Auditory Verbal Therapist, accredited by the AG Bell Academy. 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.

Zeenat graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2022 and completed her community service at Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein in 2023. It was during this time that she had the opportunity to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of professionals, all working together to create the best possible solutions patients.

Her passion for audiology is driven by the desire to enhance the quality of life for individuals who struggle to hear their loved ones. The opportunity to make a tangible difference, particularly in the lives of children still in their developmental years, is what motivates me every day.
