Cochlear Implant Recipients Clinical Trial
Official title:
Differences in Music Perception Skills Between Child, Teen and Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients
Adult recipients of cochlear implants (CI) generally loose interest in listening to music.
This may be due to the rather limited spectral resolution of CI. However, child
CI-recipients, if offered the opportunity, like to listen to music. They participate
actively in musical acitivities, such as singing, dancing or playing an instrument. Thus,
there seems to be a fundamental difference in the music perception of people who receive CI
as child or as adult.
This study assesses music perception skills of child, teen and adult cochlear implant
recipients in settings with simple tone sequences and in a more complex, melodious context.
