Music perception in cochlear implant users
09-09, 15:20–15:40 (Europe/Istanbul), Hearing Implant 3

Cochlear implantation (CI) can restore the hearing and improve the speech perception of patients with severe and profound hearing loss, but there are other important aspects of hearing to restore. Music, among these, is a very important art form that can evoke strong emotions  and has a considerable impact on the quality of life of CI recipients . However, it is well known that music perception is limited in CI with totally electric hearing  as a result of limited spectral sensitivity and slow varying temporal envelopes.

This presentation will be about the music perception abilities in CI users comparing prelingual recipients with postlinguals, CI users with normals on different aspects of music appreciation


The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate the various outcomes on music listening in CI patients
