Fadwa Alnafjan

Fadwa Alnafjan is a Lecturer in the Department of Linguistics at Macquarie University and an Adjunct Fellow in the same department. She also holds an Adjunct Lecturer position at UNSW (2023-2025). Her primary affiliation is with Macquarie University's Hearing Research Centre. Her research focuses on cochlear implants, hearing loss, audiological technologies, and global health disparities in hearing care. Key areas include cochlear implantation risks, clinical imaging techniques, and consumer preferences for hearing healthcare information.

Her work integrates biomedical engineering, neuroscience, and clinical practice, with recent contributions exploring hearing loss in low-resource settings and the efficacy of hearing aids for tinnitus. Collaborations span institutions globally, addressing both technological advancements in cochlear implants and public health strategies for hearing impairment.

Alnafjan has published extensively on cochlear implant side effects, including facial nerve damage risks, and pioneered studies using Cone Beam CT for cochlear length assessment. Her research also addresses cross-cultural preferences in hearing healthcare delivery among older adults across four countries.

Her contributions to the Handbook of Electroporation highlight innovations in cochlear implant electroporation techniques. Despite her prolific output, no specific awards are listed in available records.
