Description
Summary:Cochlear implants (CI) help regain perception of sound for patients with sensorineural hearing loss. The ability to recognize music pitch may be crucial for recognizing and producing speech for Mandarin. This study aims to search for possible influencing factors of music perception and correlations between music perception and auditory speech abilities among prelingually deaf pediatric Mandarin-speaking CI users. Music perception of 24 pediatric CI users and 12 normal hearing children was measured using the MuSIC test. Auditory speech perception of the 24 CI users was also measured and analyzed with their music perception results. Pediatric CI users performed worse than normal hearing children in pitch, rhythm and melody discrimination tests (
