“…The expectation was that the use of highly familiar music would generate better performance than one would predict based on the available literature. In fact, CI children have shown some success in the recognition of specific recordings that they hear regularly (Vongpaisal, Trehub & Schellenberg, 2006& 2009 even though such children are generally unsuccessful at recognizing generic versions of culturally familiar tunes (Olszweski, Gfeller, Froman, Stordahl, & Tomblin, 2005;Stordahl, 2002). However, this was not the case for the current group of adult CI users.…”

Cochlear implants (CIs) provide coarse representations of pitch, which are adequate for speech but not for music. Despite increasing interest in music processing by CI users, the available information is fragmentary. The present experiment attempted to fill this void by conducting a comprehensive assessment of music processing in adult CI users. CI users (n =6) and normally hearing (NH) controls (n = 12) were tested on several tasks involving melody and rhythm perception, recognition of familiar music, and emotion of recognition in speech and music. CI performance was substantially poorer than NH performance and at chance levels on pitch processing tasks. Performance was highly variable, however, with one individual achieving NH performance levels on some tasks, probably because of low-frequency residual hearing in his unimplanted ear. Future research with a larger sample of CI users can shed light on factors associated with good and poor music processing in this population.iii

“…Because melodies and harmonies are made up of sequential pitch patterns and several concurrently presented pitches, respectively, poor transmission of pitch has negative implications for recognition of melodies with or without harmony (Fujita & Ito, 1999;Gfeller et al, 2002;Kong et al, 2004;McDermott, 2004;Olszewski, Gfeller, Froman, & Stordahl, 2005;Pijl, 1997;Schultz & Kerber, 1994). Although there is considerable variability among implant recipients' results with regard to melody recognition, data indicate that implant recipients as a group are significantly less accurate than normal-hearing nonmusicians in open-set recognition of melodies, especially when lyrics or rhythmic cues are unavailable (Gfeller et al, 2002;Kong et al, 2004).…”

“…In particular, recipients of CIs are significantly less accurate than listeners with normal hearing in music perception tasks such as pitch perception (Gfeller et al, 2005, 2007; Gfeller, Turner, et al, 2002; Kong et al, 2004; McDermott, 2004), melody recognition (Gfeller et al, 2005, 2007; Gfeller, Turner, et al, 2002; Kong et al, 2004; McDermott, 2004; Olszewski et al, 2005), and recognition of musical instruments (timbre recognition) (Dorman et al, 1991; Gfeller and Lansing, 1991; Gfeller et al, 1997, 1998; Gfeller, Witt, Adamek, et al, 2002; Gfeller, Witt, Woodworth, et al, 2002; McDermott and McKay, 1997; Pijl, 1997; Fujita and Ito, 1999; Leal et al, 2003; Schon et al, 2004; Pressnitzer et al, 2005; Laneau et al, 2006). There are melodies, however, a few individuals, commonly referred to as “star users,” are able to recognize using pitch perception.…”

Background The simulation of the CI (cochlear implant) signal presents a degraded representation of each musical instrument, which makes recognition difficult. Purpose To examine the efficiency and effectiveness of three types of training on recognition of musical instruments as presented through simulations of the sounds transmitted through a CI. Research Design Participants were randomly assigned to one of three training conditions: repeated exposure, feedback, and direct instruction. Study Sample Sixty-six adults with normal hearing. Intervention Each participant completed three training sessions per week, over a five-week time period, in which they listened to the CI simulations of eight different musical instruments. Data Collection and Analysis Analyses on percent of instruments identified correctly showed statistically significant differences between recognition accuracy of the three training conditions (p< .01). Results those assigned to the direct instruction group showed the greatest improvement over the five-week training period as well as sustained improvement after training. The feedback group achieved the next highest level of recognition accuracy. The repeated exposure group showed modest improvement during the first three-week time period, but no subsequent improvements. Conclusions These results indicate that different types of training are differentially effective with regard to improving recognition of musical instruments presented through a degraded signal, which has practical implications for the auditory rehabilitation of persons who use cochlear implants.
