Comprehensive Ear & Hearing – Grand Haven

Kristin Johnston, a board-certified hearing instrument specialist for over 25 years and owner of Comprehensive Ear & Hearing Grand Haven, is passionate about the intersection of health, wellness, and hearing care. With a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Hope College and additional coursework in communicative disorders at Calvin College, she believes in the gift of hearing as a powerful tool to enhance life and deepen human connection.

Kristin embraces a well-rounded approach to hearing health, addressing overall well-being and emphasizing a holistic path to wellness. She works closely with primary care and ENT offices to ensure collaborative, comprehensive care for her patients.

Kristin is also a strong advocate for inclusive care – welcoming and supporting individuals from all walks of life. She believes that hearing care is a key part of inclusive communication and strives to create an environment where every patient feels respected, seen, and empowered to advocate for their hearing needs with confidence. At CEH, her mission is simple: all ears, all voices, all are welcome.

Cadan Kleinheksel, a board-certified hearing instrument specialist, brings both deep technical knowledge and a genuine, down-to-earth approach to patient care. He earned his Bachelor of Science in biology with a minor in kinesiology from Hope College, and has been immersed in the hearing care field since age 17 – doing everything from cleaning the clinic to assisting with nursing home visits. His early hands-on experience and long-standing commitment to the profession laid the foundation for his passion today.

Cadan is known for blending science-based expertise with an open, honest communication style. He has a knack for breaking down complex hearing topics into easy-to-understand explanations and helping patients feel informed, empowered, and at ease. A true “hearing tech geek” at heart, Cadan is driven by a love for innovation and a deep belief in the power of accessible, caring healthcare.
