About

Biography

Vinay Swarnalatha Nagaraj is a Professor of Audiology at the Institute of Neuromedicine and Movement Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim. He currently holds the position of President of the European Federation of Audiological Societies (EFAS), a prominent organization representing over 35 countries across Europe. Vinay Swarnalatha Nagaraj earned his Ph.D. in Hearing and Speech Sciences, with specialization in psychoacoustics, diagnostic audiology, and rehabilitative audiology. His academic training includes degrees from the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing, Mysuru, India, and the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Research works have primarily focused on understanding the mechanisms of auditory processing in individuals with normal hearing and hearing impairments, with particular emphasis on the perception of speech and non-speech sounds. Specific areas of research interest include hidden hearing disorders, cochlear dead regions, and the perceptual effects of music and noise exposure.

Professor Swarnalatha Nagaraj’s scholarly work has been widely published in leading peer-reviewed journals such as Nature Scientific Reports, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Hearing Research, Brain, Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, Ear and Hearing, American Journal of Audiology, and the International Journal of Audiology. He is the recipient of the esteemed Åsgard Scholarship, supporting research collaboration between Norway and France. He serves as a committee member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and contributes to the EFAS working group on hearing screening. Additionally, he represents Norway on the EFAS Board and serves as a representative on the World Health Organization (WHO) committee for safe listening practices. He is also an expert reviewer for research proposals under the European Commission.

Professor Swarnalatha Nagaraj remains actively engaged in hearing science research and serves as a peer reviewer and editorial board member for several high-impact journals. He is affiliated with Wolfson College at the University of Cambridge.
