This study documents the importance of preserving residual low-frequency acoustic hearing as those with more are selected for cochlear implantation. Surgical strategies used preservation a short hybrid implant outlined. The benefits preserved hearing, improved word understanding in noise, and music appreciation described.Multicenter, prospective, single-subject design.Records were reviewed 21 individuals participating an Food Drug Administration (FDA) feasibility clinical trial who have...

This paper describes the listening habits and musical enjoyment of postlingually deafened adults who use cochlear implants. Sixty-five implant recipients (35 females, 30 males) participated in a survey containing questions about background, prior involvement music, audiologic success with various circumstances. Responses were correlated measures cognition speech recognition. Sixty-seven completed daily diaries (7 consecutive days) which they reported hours spent specific music activities....

In Brief Objective: The purposes of this study were to (a) examine the accuracy cochlear implant recipients who use different types devices and signal processing strategies on pitch ranking as a function size interval frequency range (b) relations between perception measure demographic variables, melody recognition, speech reception in background noise. Design: One hundred fourteen users 21 normal-hearing adults tested discrimination task (pitch ranking) that required them determine...

<i>Aim:</i> The aims of this study were to examine the music perception abilities Cochlear Nucleus Hybrid (acoustic plus electric stimulation) cochlear implant (CI) recipients and compare their performance with that normal-hearing (NH) adults CI using conventional long-electrode (LE) devices (Advanced Bionics: 90K, Clarion, CIIHF; Corporation: CI24M, CI22, Contour; Ineraid). compared NH LE on recognition (a) real-world melodies (b) musical instruments. <i>Patients...

AbstractAbstractThe purpose of this study was to compare melody recognition and pitch perception adult cochlear implant recipients normal-hearing adults identify factors that influence the ability users recognize familiar melodies. Forty-nine experienced 18 were tested on recognition. The significantly (p < 0.0001) more accurate than recipients. Implant showed considerable variability in complex tones pure tones. There significant negative correlations between recognition, age at time...

&lt;i&gt;Aim:&lt;/i&gt; This communication details the latest preliminary results from an ongoing multicenter single-subject design clinical trial of Iowa/Nucleus Hybrid 10-mm cochlear implant. Selection criteria, surgical strategies used for hearing preservation, and benefits preserved residual low-frequency hearing, improved word understanding in noise, music appreciation are described. &lt;i&gt;Patients Methods:&lt;/i&gt; The device has been implanted 48 individuals with hearing....

The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate adult Ineraid and Nucleus cochlear implant (CI) users’ perceptual accuracy for melodic rhythmic patterns, quality ratings different musical instruments. Subjects were 18 postlingually deafened adults with CI experience. Evaluative measures included the Primary Measures Music Audiation (PMMA) a Musical Instrument Quality Rating. Performance scores on PMMA correlated speech perception measures, music background, subject characteristics....

The purpose of this study was to compare postlingually deafened cochlear implant recipients and normal-hearing adults on timbre (tone quality) recognition appraisal 8 musical instruments representing 3 frequency ranges 4 instrumental families. were significantly less accurate than the recognition. gave poorer ratings did those played in higher range from string family. measures weakly correlated with speech perception measures, but cognitive sequential processing.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect structured training on recognition and appraisal timbre (tone quality) musical instruments by postlingually deafened cochlear implant recipients. Twenty-four users (Nucleus C124M) were randomly assigned a control or group. group experienced only incidental exposure music in their usual daily routine. participated 12 weeks delivered via laptop computer which they introduced excerpts representing three frequency ranges four instrumental...

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...

Objective: This study compares the musical perception of 17 adult recipients Nucleus cochlear implant using two different format extraction processing strategies (F0F1F2 and MPEAK). Design: Over a 12 mo period, participants were alternately switched between every 3 mo. Performance was evaluated three measures rhythmic sequential pitch perception. Results: Three individuals performed significantly better with MPEAK strategy on one particular rhythm task, 11 another no significant differences...

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....

The purposes of this study were (a) to compare recognition "real-world" music excerpts by postlingually deafened adults using cochlear implants and normal-hearing adults; (b) the performance implant recipients different devices processing strategies; (c) examine variability among in musical selections relation on speech perception tests, cognitive demographic variables.Seventy-nine users 30 tested open-set systematically selected from recordings heard real life. accuracy two groups was...

Abstract The number of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) is growing proportional to our aging population. Although music-based interventions may offer meaningful support these individuals, most music therapy research lacks well-matched comparison conditions specific intervention focus, which limits evaluation effectiveness possible mechanisms. Here, we report a randomized clinical crossover trial in examined the impact singing-based on feelings, emotions,...

The purposes of this study were (a) to develop a test complex song appraisal that would be suitable for use with adults who cochlear implant (assistive hearing device) and (b) compare the ratings (liking) songs by implants (n = 66) comparison group normal 36). article describes development computerized appraisal, emphasis on its theoretical basis process item selection naturalistic stimuli. was administered 2 groups determine effects prior familiarity subjective complexity appraisal....

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...
