Predicting music enjoyment in cochlear implant users

Most cochlear implant (CI) users perceive music poorly. Little is known, however, about the musical enjoyment received by CI users. The author examined possible relationships between musical enjoyment and music perception tasks through the use of 1) multiple musical tests, and 2) two groups of listeners: normal-hearing (NH) listeners with a CI-simulation and actual CI users. The two groups’ performances are compared to determine whether NH participants listening to music via CI-simulation software are a good model for actual CI users for perceiving music.

Subjective impressions of child cochlear-implant users: effects of conversational fluency, intelligibility, speech perception, and communication mode

This paper investigates the conversational fluency of young cochlear implant users. The study compares objective measures and subjective impressions of conversation fluency, relates how children’s communication skills influence both objective and subjective measures of conversational fluency, and compares the performance of children who use an oral mode with those who use a total communication mode in everyday conversation.

This paper discusses the Nucleus 22 cochlear implant.

Utilizing hearing assistive technology (HAT) to assess speech recognition: Comparison of word recognition scores obtained by hearing instrument users

The ability for individuals with hearing loss to accurately recognize correct versus incorrect verbal responses during traditional word recognition testing across four different listening conditions was assessed.

Tactile errors of localization on the sternums of tactaid VII users and non-users

This paper discusses a study done to test tactile errors of localization abilities, with and without a Tactaid VII communication aid.

Open-set speech perception of school-age cochlear implant users

This study examines specific auditory features perceived by profoundly hearing-impaired children using conventional binaural hearing aids and the Nucleus 22 Channel Cochlear Implant. The primary interest of this study was to learn which speech features were most easily perceived by users of each device.
