Mahsa Mosstaghimi-Tehrani

Au.D., Reg. CASLPO

Serving the Roncesvalles and Yonge Street Locations

Mahsa is the owner of, and lead audiologist at, Toronto Family Hearing. Originally from Windsor Ontario, Mahsa attended Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan where she graduated with her Clinical Doctorate in Audiology (Au.D).

While completing her degree, Mahsa worked in various clinical settings serving both pediatric and adult patients, including the Children’s Hospital of Michigan and the University Physician Group at the Wayne State School of Medicine.

After practicing for several years, Mahsa noticed a serious shortage of high-quality hearing services. In order to fulfill this need, she decided to open her own audiology clinic in 2013. The overwhelmingly positive response to the implementation of her own research-based practice methods lead to the growth and expansion of her practice.

With the continued support of the communities she serves, she has been able to expand her practice to include three locations in Toronto. Her wonderful administrative team of three (3) is lead by the brilliant Amelia and her clinical team includes four (4) talented audiologists who share her passion for delivering the highest level of hearing care for the whole family.

With a focus on the importance of routine hearing testing, the Toronto Family Hearing team brings a compassionate and comprehensive approach to hearing health care. By conducting thorough hearing assessments, hearing aid fittings, verifications and counselling, Mahsa’s clinical team ensures every patient leaves their appointment with the best understanding of their hearing health.

When Mahsa isn’t running her practice and caring for her patients, she spends her free time learning how to pull a perfect espresso shot (it’s a work-in-progress), indulging in Toronto’s incredible food scene, and lecturing friends, family, and strangers on the importance of hearing protection and routine hearing assessments (she can’t help herself).

Adele MacLean

M.Sc. Aud.(C) Reg. CASLPO

Serving the Royal York and Roncesvalles Locations

Adele joined the Toronto Family Hearing team in 2022. She found a passion for healthcare and rehabilitation while completing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BScN) at Cape Breton University. While working with an otolaryngologist she developed such a strong draw to the field of audiology that she decided to switch career paths and pursue a Master of Clinical Science in Audiology at the University of Western Ontario.

Upon graduating, Adele has worked as audiologist in a variety of settings including otolaryngology clinics, hospitals, and hearing aid dispensing offices. In addition to her clinical work, Adele completed research projects at Western University on both aural rehabilitation and the impact of hearing loss on the quality of life of elderly patients. She advocates for her patients and is highly empathetic, understanding that empathy and compassion are key to fostering patient growth beyond the assistance that technology can provide.
