Hettie van Nikkelen Kuyper has been practising as an audiologist and speech therapist in Tzaneen since August 1996.
As an audiologist, it is her passion to help people hearing better. After doing full diagnostic hearing evaluation, a patient is assessed regarding hearing amplification and a decision is taken together with the patient to fit the best possible hearing aid. Follow up visits are the most important part of a successful hearing aid fitting to ensure that the patient is getting the full benefit of his or her new hearing aids.
As a speech therapist, Hettie works with patients with a wide range of communication difficulties – from articulation in toddlers, language and auditory processing difficulties in children, to patients with speech or swallowing problems following a stroke, to name a few.
In this practice, patients become friends.
