In normal-hearing (NH) adults, long-term music training may benefit music and speech
perception, even when listening to spectro-temporally degraded signals as experienced by …

Cochlear implants (CIs) have been remarkably successful at restoring hearing in severely-to-
profoundly hearing-impaired individuals. However, users often struggle to deconstruct …

Objective: Cochlear implant research and product development over the past 40 years have
been heavily focused on speech comprehension with little emphasis on music listening and …

Cochlear implant (CI) biomechanical constraints result in impoverished spectral cues and
poor frequency resolution, making it difficult for users to perceive pitch and timbre. There is …

Since the advent of cochlear implant (CI) surgery in the 1960s, there have been remarkable
technological and surgical advances enabling excellent speech perception in quiet with …

Objective: The objectives of this study were:(1) to determine if musicians have a better ability
to detect frequency changes under quiet and noisy conditions;(2) to use the acoustic change …

The severe hearing loss problems that some people suffer can be treated by providing them
with a surgically implanted electrical device called cochlear implant (CI). CI users struggle to …

Cochlear implants (CIs) are optimized for speech perception but poor in conveying musical
sound features such as pitch, melody, and timbre. Here, we investigated the early …

Introduction Most cochlear implant (CI) users have difficulty in listening tasks that rely
strongly on perception of frequency changes (eg, speech perception in noise, musical …

Objective Musical rehabilitation has been used in clinical and nonclinical contexts to
improve postimplantation auditory processing in implanted individuals. This systematic …
