Bronwyn Hein
Director and Clinical Audiologist
I have passionately been the been the director of Be heard for over 8 years and have grown each day in private private for 15 years.
I have a keen interest in tinnitus, balance and complex tx cases but love all aspects of what we offer.
My favourite time is traveling to our clinics around KZN to visit patients that can’t reach our services with ease.
I began my practice to assist all patients of different ethnicities and financial backgrounds to offer hearing solutions to all.
We will go that extra mile to make sure all ears around the world are switched on.
My husband and I love to travel and as an avid surfer we find ourselves often by the ocean. We have 3 darling fur babies and Ballito has been our home for over 10 years now.
Watch this space as between patients and training, I hope to launch an NGO in the near future.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt
Aaliah Motala
Audiologist
I’ve been part of the Be Heard Audiology team since January 2025. I’m deeply motivated by purpose and growth, and what I love most about my work is seeing the transformation when someone rediscovers sound — the laughter, conversations, and confidence that return. I take a warm, patient approach, ensuring each person feels heard, understood, and supported throughout their hearing journey.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, going on parkruns, and savoring moments that feel grounding and joyful. I have a soft spot for freshly baked bread and love discovering new coffee shops wherever I go. One of my favorite sounds is the satisfying crunch when slicing through fresh bread! I’m motivated by helping others feel more connected — to themselves, their loved ones, and life.
“Hearing care is heart work — it’s about restoring connection, confidence, and joy.” For me, audiology isn’t just about testing or fitting devices. It’s about helping you reconnect with the sounds and people that matter most, giving you the confidence to engage fully in life and bringing back the joy in everyday moments. My goal is to make sure you feel understood, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
Lwethu Nzimande
Audiologist
Hello, I’m Lwethu or Lu, and I joined the Be Heard team at the beginning of 2025.
What I love most about my work is the people I get to meet every day. The conversations we share, the trust we build, and the small but significant ways I can help make life a little easier — that’s what drives me. I believe that communication is one of the most powerful tools we have, and hearing loss shouldn’t stand in the way of anyone living fully or being their best self.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family, and embracing new experiences — I love having fun, exploring, and making memories. At the same time, I truly value quiet moments and time to myself. I strongly believe in living a life of balance — where joy, growth, rest, and connection all have their place.
“If you stand for nothing, you fall for everything.”
This quote resonates deeply with me. In both life and work, I believe in having clear values, standing firm in what matters, and showing up with integrity. It’s this sense of purpose that fuels my desire to make a difference — one person, one conversation, and one solution at a time.
Uneeda Snyman
Administrator
I’m Uneeda, and I’ve been part of the Be Heard Audiology team since May 2024. With 27 years of experience in administration, I’m proud to bring my skills and passion for helping people to our dedicated and caring team. Together, we ensure our practice runs smoothly — from welcoming patients with a friendly smile to supporting our audiologists and creating a positive, seamless experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
I’m a passionate, soft-hearted person who truly loves working with people. What brings me the most joy is knowing that the care and attention we provide can make a real difference in someone’s life. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where every patient feels valued and supported throughout their hearing journey.
Outside of work, I love being at home and spending quality time with my family. I enjoy cooking, soaking up the sunshine, and making the most of summer days outdoors. My favorite sound is the ocean — the crashing of the waves brings me a sense of calmness and peace.

Ivana Govender
Finance & Social Media
I joined the Be Heard Team in August 2023, managing both the financial side of the practice and our social media. I’m always looking for opportunities to create content that captures the heart of what we do.
I also love keeping things organized and planned—it’s vital to me that my work supports both our team and our patients in the best way possible.
When I am not at work, I enjoy creating content, gaming, volunteering, spending time with my family, cooking, and hanging out with my baby Pichu (AKA my child). I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, and my home is filled with comic-related items that reflect my child-like heart.
My favourite sounds are anything ASMR and rain.
“Lead with strength, serve with heart.”
