Your audiologists, specialists, and support team.

Kathryn Grote, MS

Kathy is an audiologist with a passion for helping people by improving their hearing. A former leading regional representative for two global hearing aid manufacturers, she assisted patients across the Midwest before realizing the need for local, community-rooted care — and founding KC Hearing Center. With 20 years of experience in audiology, Kathy has developed a deep understanding of hearing aid technology and the impacts of untreated hearing loss. Outside the clinic, she enjoys family time, weekends at the lake, and attending her two sons' sporting events.

Dr. Haley Womack, Au.D.

Haley graduated in May 2023 with her Doctor of Audiology from Missouri State University. Her clinical experience includes vestibular testing, tinnitus treatment, and hearing aid fittings. She believes in a patient-centered plan of care and takes a personalized approach to selecting the hearing aid that best suits each individual's lifestyle — because better hearing can profoundly change a person's outlook on life.

Haley is married and a proud dog mom to her pup, Archie. She is an avid reader and foodie who loves to travel—her most recent travels were to Spain, Albania, Greece and throughout the U.S.
