Our goal as audiologists is to successfully define hearing loss for an individual. It is our objective to rehabilitate those with hearing impairment as fully as possible through the utilization of hearing instruments.

M.A., CCC-A
Location: Ann Arbor, MI
I have been a practicing Audiologist for 23 years. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology from Michigan State University in 1981 followed by my Master of Arts degree in Audiology from the Universtiy of Michigan in 1983. After completing my Clinical Fellowship year at the University of Michgan in 1984, I went to work as a Clinical Audiologist for St. Joseph Mercy Health Systems from 1985-1996. At that time the Audiology Department was taken over by MOSA for whom I have worked ever since.

Joanne Coughlin
M.A., CCC-A
Location: Ann Arbor, MI
I have been an audiologist for over 25 years. I initially provided comprehensive services for patients through St. Joseph Mercy Hospital and have been with MOSA since 1986. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Miami University, Oxford, OH in 1977. I worked as a school speech pathologist for three years before obtaining my Masters of Audiology degree in 1982. I am licensed in the State of Michigan and hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-A) through the American Speech Language and Hearing Association.

I truly love working with my patients to meet their communication needs. I enjoy helping them achieve successful hearing aid use. I also enjoy testing children and obtaining the necessary hearing information from even the most reluctant child.

I live in Ann Arbor with my husband, Dan, and we have two beautiful children, Caroline and John. I like to quilt, garden, read and cook.

Lisa Saulles
M.A., CCC-A
Location: Saline, MI
I have been an audiologist for over 25 years. I have been with MOSA since 1997 and opened MOSA's Saline office in 1999. Prior to working at MOSA, I worked at Providence Hospital in Southfield for 12 years. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology from Michigan State University in 1981. I am licensed through the State of Michigan and have a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology through the American Speech Language and Hearing Association. I am also a fellow of the American Academy of Audiology.

I enjoy working with my patients to help them find hearing solutions that allow them to enjoy all aspects of their lives more fully. I feel that hearing aids not only improve the wearer's ability to communcate with others, they also help the individual be more secure in their environment. This awareness allows them to maintain independence as well a give their families peace of mind.

I moved to Ann Arbor almost 25 years ago when I married my husband. We have two wonderful children. I like to travel, read and try new restaurants.

I have been an audiologist for 13 years. I obtained my Doctor of Audiology degree from Central Michigan University in 2005. As part of my doctoral thesis, I developed a Parents Resource Guide for Children with hearing loss in Livingston County. I am licensed through the State of Michigan and also hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech Language and Hearing Association. I am also a member of the Michigan chapter of the American Academy of Audiology. I live with my husband and two children in Howell.

I strive to become an integral part of my patients' lives because I want them to feel comfortable contacting me for assistance.

Au.D., CCC-A
Location: Canton, MI
My higher education began in 1990 with a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics from the University of Michigan. Six years later I decided to pursue a career in Audiology and obtained my Master of Arts in 1999 from Michigan State University. I have been working at MOSA since that time and graduated with a Doctor of Audiology in 2003 from the University of Florida.

Michelle Anne Rankin
Au.D., CCC-A
Location: Chelsea, MI
My educational background includes an Associate in Science in Comminication and Media arts from Monroe Community College, Rochester, New York in 1989. From 2001 to 2003 I received my Bachelor and consecutively a Master of Arts in Audiology and Speech Sciences from Michigan State University. Ultimately I graduated with my Doctor of Audiology on February 18, 2007. After 18 years in school I can finally say I'm done. I am also licensed through the State of Michigan and I have a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. I have been with MOSA since 2003.

I was born and raised in Rochester, NY and moved to Michigan in 1993 to continue my education. I subsequently met my husband and we have three beautiful children. I am a firm believer that better hearing begins with better listening not only by those who have hearing loss, but by family and friends who carry equal responsibility for being good communication partners. My favorite thing to listen to is the laughter of my children and the sound of Bass breaking water on the St. Lawrence River.

Gail Stoddart
Au.D.
Location: Brighton
I received my Masters of Arts in Audiology and Speech Sciences from Michigan State University in 1979. I obtained my Doctor of Audiology Degree in 2008 from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, School of Audiology. I have worked at MOSA since 2005 in the Brighton and Ann Arbor locations. Previously, I worked for an Otolaryngologist at St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Livonia for 14 years.

I enjoy working with patients of all ages, especially educating patients and their family members about appropriate amplification and assistive listening devices to meet their communication needs. I believe that audiologists are the best resource for individuals or community groups who are interested in learning more about the ear and how it functions, types of hearing loss, noise exposure prevention, and selection of amplification.

I live in Brighton with my wonderful husband, Bruce, and our son, Eric. I enjoy gardening, camping and scrapbooking.
