“…The measurement for the AMP in this study was the same as previously developed and described by Shin, et al [ 17 ] in 2021. The AMP was consisted of six subtests—pitch, melody, rhythm, timbre, emotional reaction, and harmony perception.…”

“…In current study, the music perception ability of the NH and HAS groups was assessed through the Assessment of Music Perception (AMP) which was developed for evaluating pitch, melody, rhythm, timbre, and harmony perception abilities, and emotional reaction for analyzing music perception ability developed recently in Korea [ 17 ]. Besides, a Music Listening Attitudes and Satisfaction Questionnaire (MASQ) that was also developed in the same study was conducted to identify the real condition and degree of satisfaction of listening to music of the NH and HAS groups.…”

Background and Objectives: Recently, the improvement of music perception abilities for emotional stability and high quality of life has become important for the hearing loss group. This study aimed to examine and compare the music perception abilities of the normal hearing (NH) and hearing amplification system (HAS) groups to find the needs and methods of music rehabilitation. Subjects and Methods: The data were collected from 15 NH adults (33.1±11.4 years) and 15 HAS adults (38.7±13.4 years), of whom eight wore cochlear implant [CI] systems and seven wore CI and hearing aid systems depending on pitch, melody, rhythm, timbre, emotional reaction, and harmony perception tests. A mismatch negativity test was also conducted, and attitudes toward and satisfaction with listening to music were measured. Results: The correction percentages for the NH and HAS groups were 94.0%±6.1% and 75.3%±23.2% in the pitch test; 94.0%±7.1% and 30.3%±25.9% in the melody test; 99.3%±1.8% and 94.0%± 7.6% in the rhythm test; 78.9%±41.8% and 64.4%±48.9% in the timbre test; 96.7%±10.4% and 81.7%±16.3% in the emotional reaction test; and 85.7%±14.1% and 58.4%±13.9% in the harmony test, respectively, showing statistical significance (p<0.05). For the mismatch negativity test, the area of the waveform was smaller in the HAS groups than in the NH groups, with 70 dB of stimulation showing no statistical significance. The response rates for satisfaction with listening to music were 80% and 93.3% for the NH and HAS groups, showing no statistical significance. Conclusions: Although the HAS group showed lower music perception ability than the NH group overall, they showed a strong desire for music listening. Also, the HAS group revealed a higher degree of satisfaction even when listening to unfamiliar music played with unusual instruments. It is suggested that systematic and constant musical rehabilitation based on musical elements and different listening experiences will improve music perception qualities and abilities for HAS users.

Purpose: The ability of music perception should be improved for the hearing impaired by music training. The music training should be systematically conducted from each musical element to overall music listening based on analytic and synthetic approaches. This study aimed to develop the music rehabilitation program (MRP) to improve the music perception of the hearing-impaired.Methods: Fifteen cochlear implant (CI) users (34.5 ± 11.6 years) participated. The MRP consisted the musical elements such as pitch, melody, rhythm and timbre, and musical emotional training considering Korean culture. The MRP was conducted twice per week through self-directed home training for 2 months. The assessment of music perception (AMP) was tested before and after performing the MRP.Results: The results of AMP subtests were significantly different between pre- and post-MRP with 61.1% and 83.8% for the pitch perception test, 72.8% and 87.8% for the timbre perception test with Korean musical instruments, 48.0% and 59.3% with Western musical instruments, and 55.9% and 71.1% in the harmony perception test. However, there was no significant differences in the melody, rhythm and emotional reaction tests. According to the MRP effectiveness questionnaire, 80% of participants have changed their interests after training for listening to music.Conclusion: Although there were differences among elements of music training, the overall music perception ability was improved after conducting MRP (p < 0.001). In conclusion, providing a systematic music training program such as MRP could expand the range of music experience and improve the ability for music listening and for CI users.

Purpose: The music rehabilitation program (MRP) promotes auditory, language, cognitive, and motor development of the brain. The significance of MRP was studied through mismatch negativity (MMN) and Music Listening Attitude and Satisfaction Questionnaire for hearing loss (MASQ_H). Methods: Fifteen adult cochlear implant (CI) users (34.5 years; standard deviation, ± 11.6) participated. MMN was tested before and after MRP training at the stimulus intensity level of 70 and 100 dB hearing loss (HL). In addition, MASQ_H was utilized. Results: For the pre- and post-tests of MMN, the average amplitudes of the waveforms were -2.48 ± 1.95 µV and -6.11 ± 4.21 µV and the areas were 208.16 ± 211.59 µV·ms and 527.87 ± 360.42 µV·ms with the significant difference when the stimulus level was presented at 70 dB HL. For MASQ_H, 90.9% of the participants responded that they felt satisfied with listening to music using CI or hearing aid. When asked about the musical factors that were improved in the music listening, the ‘pitch perception’ and ‘timbre perception’ were responded showing increased satisfaction rates. Conclusion: This study confirmed that MRP improved language processing by facilitating auditory processing, cognitive ability, and neural plasticity of the central auditory system through the increased amplitude and area of MMN after MRP application. Furthermore, providing a systematic music training such as MRP could change the music listening attitudes and satisfaction of the CI users’. The active implementation of music rehabilitation is strongly suggested.
