“…The procedure for administering the CAMP test was the same as that previously described by Nimmons et al [2008] and Kang et al [2009]. Three components of music perception (pitch, melody, and timbre recognition) were assembled into a computer-driven exercise.…”

recognition score was 68.6%, and the mean SRT in steady noise was -8.5 dB SNR. The children's spectral-ripple resolution, CNC word recognition, and SRT in noise performances were, within statistical bounds, the same as in a population of postlingually deafened adult CI users. However, Schroeder-phase discrimination and music perception were generally poorer than in the adults. It is possible then that this poorer performance seen in the children might be partly accounted for by the delayed maturation in their temporal processing ability, and because of this, the children's performance may have been driven more by their spectral sensitivity.

“…Therefore, different measurements should be used to gain insight in accuracy of music perception and the degree of music appreciation. The majority of previous researchers has tended to focus on music perception, rather than on music appreciation in adult CI users [5,9,10,15,16,[20][21][22][23][24]. A smaller number of studies focused on music appraisal or enjoyment by means of self-reported questionnaires or testing appraisal of musical excerpts [7,19,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

The main objective of this study was to assess the associations between self-reported listening habits and perception of music and speech perception outcomes in quiet and noise for both unilateral cochlear implant (CI) users and bimodal (CI in one ear, hearing aid in contra-lateral ear) users. Information concerning music appreciation was gathered by means of a newly developed questionnaire. Moreover, audiological data (pure-tone audiometry, speech tests in noise and quiet) were gathered and the relationship between speech perception and music appreciation is studied. Bimodal users enjoy listening to music more in comparison with unilateral CI users. Also, music training within rehabilitation is still uncommon, while CI recipients believe that music training might be helpful to maximize their potential with current CI technology. Music training should not be exclusively reserved for the good speech performers. Therefore, a music training program (MTP) that consists of different difficulty levels should be developed. Hopefully, early implementation of MTP in rehabilitation programs can enable adult CI users to enjoy and appreciate music and to maximize their potential with commercially available technology. Furthermore, because bimodal users consider the bimodal stimulation to be the most enjoyable way to listen to music, CI users with residual hearing in the contra-lateral ear should be encouraged to continue wearing their hearing aid in that ear.

“…Temporal pitch cues may be derived from temporal envelopes used to modulate pulse trains delivered to each electrode, but these pitch cues are limited to approximately 300 Hz (see, e.g., Fraser & McKay, 2012). Previous studies with English-speaking adult CI users have shown that their melodic pitch perception is generally poor (Galvin, Fu, & Nogaki, 2007;Gfeller et al, 2007;Kang et al, 2008;Kong, Cruz, Jones, & Zeng, 2004;Nimmons et al, 2008).…”

“…Previous studies have used melodic pitch discrimination or recognition of familiar melodies without rhythm cues to characterize English-speaking CI users' melodic pitch perception (see, e.g., Gfeller et al, 2007;Kang et al, 2008;Nimmons et al, 2008). Melodic contour identification (MCI) has been used to characterize CI users' functional pitch perception (Galvin, Eskridge, Oba, & Fu, 2012;Galvin et al, 2007;Galvin, Fu, & Oba, 2008;Galvin, Fu, & Shannon, 2009).…”

Purpose: The aims of this study were to assess young (5-to 10-year-old) Mandarin-speaking cochlear implant (CI) users' musical pitch perception and to assess the benefits of computer-based home training on performance. Method: Melodic contour identification (MCI) was used to assess musical pitch perception in 14 Mandarin-speaking pediatric CI users; the instrument timbre and the contour length were varied as experimental parameters. Six subjects received subsequent MCI training on their home computer in which auditory and visual feedback were provided. Results: MCI performance was generally poor (grand mean = 33.3% correct) and highly variable, with scores ranging from 9.3% to 98.1% correct; there was no significant effect of instrument timbre or contour length on performance ( p > .05). After 4 weeks of training, performance sharply improved. Follow-up measures that were conducted 8 weeks after training was stopped showed no significant decline in MCI performance. For the 6 trained subjects, there was a significant effect of contour length for the training and follow-up measures. Conclusion: These preliminary data suggest that although baseline MCI performance initially may be poor, training may greatly improve Mandarin-speaking pediatric CI users' melodic pitch perception.
