This is primarily due to the limited ability of CI processing strategies and electric stimulation to provide place pitch and fine structure information from the original input signal to the auditory nervous system of the user. Approaches such as current focusing, current steering, enhanced amplitude modulation cues, and optic stimulation have been shown or theorized to assist in music perception, as have musical training programs. This article is a brief review of research related to music perception in adults with CIs, specifically their rhythm, pitch, and melody perception performance; processing strategies that have been or are being developed which might improve their music perception performance; and music training programs that have been shown to improve their music perception performance.","PeriodicalId":145171,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on Aural Rehabilitation and Its Instrumentation","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114792458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hearing aids are an effective and common rehabilitation strategy for individuals with hearing loss. A wide range of factors, however, can hamper and even preclude successful hearing aid use. Self-efficacy, a concept that reflects perceptions of one's ability to perform particular tasks or behaviors, has been shown to be an important factor in the successful management of chronic illness including conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, as well as arthritis and other sources of chronic pain. Improving or strengthening patients' self-efficacy beliefs can improve health outcomes. The role of self-efficacy in the management of hearing loss and hearing aids is still being explored; hence, the extent to which, and the ways in which, self-efficacy may be related to audiologic outcomes remains largely unexplained.

There is a vast literature across a large range of health conditions that highlights the importance of self-efficacy in the management of chronic health conditions including behaviors related to managing hearing loss and tinnitus (Smith & West, 2006a). The main findings from these studies indicate that patients with higher self-efficacy for managing their chronic health condition tend to be more adherent to treatment plans and have better outcomes than patients with lower self-efficacy. This paper reviews self-efficacy theory and how self-efficacy can be applied to audiologic rehabilitation interventions. Emerging evidence showing that self-efficacy is an essential factor to consider in audiologic rehabilitation for adults is summarized.

Shared decision-making is appropriate for health care conditions in which there is more than one evidence-based treatment or management option that have different benefits and risks. The patient's involvement ensures that the decisions regarding treatment are sensitive to the patient's values and preferences. Audiologic rehabilitation requires substantial behavior changes on the part of patients and includes benefits to their communication as well as compromises and potential risks.
