I chose a career in hearing health care because I believe by helping people hear, I can make a difference in their lives. Hearing loss can rob a person of much of their lives enjoyment, whether it’s the sound of birds chirping or their grandchildren singing. My goal as a hearing care provider is to help my clients regain that enjoyment.
Hearing loss also takes a toll on the entire family. It is very important for people in relationships to connect with each other, verbally and emotionally. Those who feel like they’re missing out on the world around them often feel isolated and depressed, and their families become frustrated. I hope that by listening and sharing my knowledge with my clients, I can ease the frustration for all those involved.
The vision I have created for my practice is to provide everything my clients need to make their world of hearing impairment a little better (brighter, Easier). Whether it is a hearing instrument, an Assistive Listening Device, educational material, family communication pointers or advice and support, myself and my staff strive to provide everything my clients and their families need to improve their social, emotional, psychological and physical well-being.

"Cadan has an exceptional knowledge of hearing, hearing issues, and how to manipulate/fine-tune hearing aide devices. He is very friendly, easy to talk to and work with. He has improved my life by fine-tuning my hearing aides to the point where I firmly believe I can hear better than many of my friends & family members. Thank you!”

Dr. Terry R. DeGroot is a graduate of Wheaton College (Illinois) and the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. His surgical internship was completed at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He completed his residency in otolaryngology at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, NY. He was board certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology in 1980 and has practiced in West Michigan since that time.
Dr. DeGroot will be providing medical input and care for current and potential hearing instrument users in the Grand Haven and Zeeland offices. His services will include cerumen management and examination and treatment of ear canal and hearing concerns.
Dr. DeGroot says, “One of the joys of my practice over the years has been to become involved in the lives of patients from newborns to the very elderly, those with minor problems to life threatening issues. Assisting individuals to deal with ear and hearing concerns has been particularly rewarding as this area provides opportunity to dramatically improve the quality of lives of patients, their loved ones and their social circle. What could be more gratifying than aiding individuals in living better and happier lives on an every day basis.”
He resides in Grand Haven, with his wife, Sandi. They enjoy gardening, cooking and motorcycle riding.
