The research examined whether performance by adult cochlear implant recipients on a variety of recognition and appraisal tests derived from real-world music could be predicted technological, demographic, life experience variables, as well speech scores. A representative sample 209 adults implanted between 1985 2006 participated. Using multiple linear regression models generalized mixed models, sets optimal predictor variables were selected that effectively test battery assessed different...

Objectives: The objectives were to evaluate the relationships among music perception, appraisal, and experience in cochlear implant users multiple clinical settings examine viability of two assessments designed for use. Design: Background questionnaires (IMBQ) administered by audiologists 14 clinics United States Canada. CAMP included tests pitch-direction discrimination, melody timbre recognition. IMBQ queried on prior musical involvement, listening habits pre post implant, appraisals....

Background: An extensive body of literature indicates that cochlear implants (CIs) are effective in supporting speech perception persons with severe to profound hearing losses who do not benefit any great extent from conventional aids. Adult CI recipients tend show significant improvement within 3 mo following implantation as a result mere experience. Furthermore, continue modest long 5 yr postimplantation. In contrast, data taken single testing protocols music and appraisal indicate CIs...

The simulation of the CI (cochlear implant) signal presents a degraded representation each musical instrument, which makes recognition difficult.To examine efficiency and effectiveness three types training on instruments as presented through simulations sounds transmitted CI.Participants were randomly assigned to one conditions: repeated exposure, feedback, direct instruction.Sixty-six adults with normal hearing.Each participant completed sessions per week, over five-week time period, in...

Background Cochlear implant (CI) users have difficulty perceiving some intonation cues in speech and melodic contours because of poor frequency selectivity the cochlear signal. Objectives To assess perceptual accuracy normal hearing (NH) children pediatric CI on (prosody), contour, pitch ranking, to determine potential predictors outcomes. Hypothesis Does for or contour differ as a function auditory status (NH, CI), category (falling versus rising intonation/contour), perception, individual...

Evidence suggests that musicians, as a group, have superior frequency resolution abilities when compared with nonmusicians. It is possible to assess auditory discrimination using either behavioral or electrophysiologic methods. The purpose of this study was determine if the acoustic change complex (ACC) sensitive enough reflect differences in spectral processing exhibited by musicians and nonmusicians.Twenty individuals (10 10 nonmusicians) participated study. Pitch ripple were assessed both...

Cochlear implants (CIs), which have been designed primarily to support spoken communication of persons with severe profound hearing loss, are highly effective in supporting speech perception quiet listening conditions. CI users as a group achieve significantly poorer and appraisal music, is compromised when background music present, though outcomes vary considerably across recipients. A number factors identified that contribute variable experiences, but many questions remain, particularly...

This paper provides research and clinical information relevant to music therapy for preschool children who use cochlear implants (CI). It consolidates from various disciplinary sources regarding (a) implantation of young prelingually deaf (~age 2–5), (b) patterns auditory speech-language development, (c) perception with CIs. serves as a foundation the final portion article, which describes typical goals examples interventions suitable children.

This study examines the efficiency and effectiveness of three types training on recognition musical instruments by adults with cochlear implants (CI). Seventy-one CIs were randomly assigned to one conditions: feedback response accuracy, feedback-plus (response accuracy plus correct answer), direct instruction. Each participant completed sessions per week over a five-week time period in which they listened recorded excerpts eight different instruments. Results showed significant...

This paper provides a preliminary report of music-based training program for adult cochlear implant (CI) recipients. Included in this are descriptions the rationale training, factors influencing development, and resulting components.Prior studies describing experience-based plasticity response to music auditory persons with hearing impairment, CI recipients were reviewed. These sources revealed rationales using enhance speech, associated successful relevant aspects electric perception,...

Preserved residual hearing in adult recipients of short electrode cochlear implants (CIs) contributes to improve perception speech noise as well music. Recently, children and adolescents with sufficient low-frequency but profound loss at higher frequencies enrolled a FDA trial intended evaluate the benefit device on maintenance hearing. This article reports several music listening tasks by using electroacoustic hearing.Five (13-18 yr) 18-24 months experience, 73 (LEC) (LEA) who use...

The purpose of this study was to examine the musical engagement (participation and attitude) pediatric CI recipients who were implanted during early childhood have reached age 15 or older. A questionnaire administered a group 31 prelingually deaf users receive annual follow up services assessment in clinical research center. used involvement attitudes toward music school, community, home; social affiliation (hearing, Deaf, both) mode communication (oral, manual, also examined.

ObjectiveChildren with cochlear implants (CIs) participate in musical activities school and daily lives. Considerable variability exists regarding the amount of music involvement enjoyment. Using Music Engagement Questionnaire-Preschool/Elementary (MEQ-P/E), we wanted to determine patterns participation impact familial factors on engagement.MethodsParents 32 children CIs (16 preschool 16 elementary) completed a questionnaire their child an implant normal-hearing (NH) sibling (if one...

Background: Music engagement (the active making of music, e.g., music lessons and ensembles) is a common part educational community experiences. typically involves listening to production rapidly changing combinations pitch, timbre, rhythm, which can be challenging for cochlear implant (CI) recipients, given that pitch timbre are poorly conveyed through the CI. Pediatric CI users have variable patterns engagement, but some achieved, sustained participation despite degraded signal. What...

Research is a pivotal element of music therapy education. Finding, interpreting, and integrating research into clinical practice are required in the professional competencies (American Music Therapy Association, 2013, 2021). Course-based undergraduate experiences (CURE) have been identified by National Science Foundation to increase access underrepresented student populations STEM programs. Fewer studies seen humanities. To develop competency cohort students, CURE was developed with...
