Abstract

Objectives: Cochlear implants (CI) have dramatically improved speech perception for patients with sensorineural hearing impairment. However, listening to music is a great challenge for them. This study examined the perception and appraisal of Iranian musical instruments comparing with similar Western instruments.

Methods: Eleven adult CI users and 25 normal hearing (NH) individuals participated in this study. Musical stimuli of three commonly heard instrument pairs were prepared. Participants were asked to identify the instruments and rate their appraisal on a ten-point Likert scale (0 = dislike very much, 10 = like very much).

Results: The instrument recognition rate was 40.6% among the CI users, and the mean appraisal score was 5.2 ± 2.7. NH listeners had none significant higher scores on both tasks with a recognition rate of 50.0% and the mean appraisal score of 6.9 ± 1.5. Iranian instruments were more recognized in both groups. Regarding their appraisal, the mean score for both types was almost equal in the NH group, while CI users more appraised Iranian instruments.

Conclusion: In addition to better recognition of Iranian instruments, they were particularly better appraised in the CI group. Iranian instruments provide suitable musical pieces for CI recipients that can be considered in rehabilitation programs.

成年人工耳蜗使用者的音色感知:伊朗和西方乐器的比较。

目的:人工耳蜗(CI)显著改善了感音神经性听力障碍患者的语言感知能力。然而，听音乐对他们来说是一个巨大的挑战。本研究考察了伊朗乐器与类似西方乐器的感知和评价。方法:11名成年CI使用者和25名听力正常(NH)个体参与了本研究。准备了三组常用乐器对的音乐刺激。参与者被要求识别这些工具，并以10分的李克特量表(0 =非常不喜欢，10 =非常喜欢)对自己的评价进行评分。结果:CI使用者的器械识别率为40.6%，平均评价得分为5.2±2.7分。NH听者在两项任务上的得分均无显著提高，识别率为50.0%，平均评价得分为6.9±1.5分。伊朗乐器在两组中都得到了更多的认可。关于他们的评价，两种类型的平均得分在NH组几乎相等，而CI用户更多地评价伊朗仪器。结论:CI组除了对伊朗器械有更好的识别外，对伊朗器械的评价也更好。伊朗乐器为CI受者提供了合适的音乐作品，可以在康复计划中考虑。

期刊介绍： Cochlear Implants International was founded as an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal in response to the growing number of publications in the field of cochlear implants. It was designed to meet a need to include scientific contributions from all the disciplines that are represented in cochlear implant teams: audiology, medicine and surgery, speech therapy and speech pathology, psychology, hearing therapy, radiology, pathology, engineering and acoustics, teaching, and communication. The aim was to found a truly interdisciplinary journal, representing the full breadth of the field of cochlear implantation.
