As biomolecular approaches for hearing restoration in profound sensorineural hearing loss
evolve, they will be applied in conjunction with or instead of cochlear implants. An …

Music training is generally assumed to improve perceptual and cognitive abilities. Although
correlational data highlight positive associations, experimental results are inconclusive …

Despite the plethora of studies investigating listening effort and the amount of research
concerning music perception by cochlear implant (CI) users, the investigation of the …

Auditory-motor and visual-motor networks are often coupled in daily activities, such as when
listening to music and dancing; but these networks are known to be highly malleable as a …

As elucidated by prior research, children with hearing loss have impaired vocal emotion
recognition compared with their normal-hearing peers. Cochlear implants (CIs) have …

Objective Ninety percent of cochlear implant (CI) users are interested in improving their
music perception. However, only few objective behavioral and neurophysiological tests …

Purpose: Previous research has indicated the beneficial effects of musical training on
speech perception in children. However, little has been known about whether musical …

Introduction Cochlear implants (CIs), which are designed to support spoken communication
of persons with severe to profound hearing loss, can provide improved hearing capability …

Objectives While the primary purpose of cochlear implant (CI) fitting is to improve individuals'
receptive and expressive skills, musical emotion perception (MEP) is generally ignored. This …

Objectives: Cochlear implants (CI) are remarkably effective, but have limitations regarding
the transformation of the spectro-temporal fine structures of speech. This may impair …
