Gfeller","doi":"10.1044/LEADER.FTR2.14082009.12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1044/LEADER.FTR2.14082009.12","url":null,"abstract":"Jana has been fitting Barry Jameson’s hearing aids since he was identified with a mild hearing loss at age 5. Over time, Barry’s hearing loss has become more severe. At 16, he scores poorly on speech perception tests and he is getting less benefit from his hearing aids. Barry’s parents are considering a cochlear implant (CI). They’ve heard very positive reports about how CIs enhance speech perception, but Barry’s parents also heard that they aren’t so great for music, which Barry loves. He has been actively involved in music at school and listening to music always has been a favorite pastime. Mrs. Jameson would like Jana’s input regarding CI use when listening to speech and music. \u0000 \u0000In discussing the pros and cons of cochlear implantation, audiologists can draw on considerable research evidence regarding the benefits for speech perception. With current technology, adult CI recipients can achieve excellent word recognition in a quiet listening environment following three to six months of implant use (Wilson, 2000). \u0000 \u0000The precise temporal and coarse spectral cues that characterize signal processing effectively transmit the most salient features of speech. \u0000 \u0000Unfortunately, coarse spectral cues are less effective in transmitting several key aspects of musical sounds (Kong, Stickney, & Zeng, 2004). CI recipients have similar perceptual accuracy as listeners with normal hearing for rhythm, but significantly poorer perception and appraisal of pitch, melody, and timbre (tone quality) (Gfeller, Oleson, Knutson, Breheny, Driscoll, &Olszewski, 2008). This difference helps to explain why many CI recipients show improved speech perception after a few weeks of implant use but do not show significant long-term improvements in music perception (Gfeller et al., 2008). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Audiologists can help CI recipients optimize their perception of music by encouraging clients to: \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Use song lyrics to compensate for poor pitch and melody perception. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Recognize that music sometimes functions as background noise. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Use residual hearing to enhance music and speech perception. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Song Lyrics as a Listening Strategy \u0000Music is all around us, and one way we connect with our environment is by recognizing favorite songs. Songs associated with special events—graduation, weddings, or holidays—can form an “auditory scrapbook” of our lives. \u0000 \u0000Without musical training, most listeners with normal hearing can easily recognize commonly heard tunes such as “Happy Birthday” or “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Yet for CI recipients, this recognition isn’t an easy task. CI users may not perceive a monotonic relationship between frequency and pitch; they may experience pitch reversals or hear sensations that are not distinct musical tones. Melodies may sound monotonal, compressed, or distinctly different from the actual melodic contour. \u0000 \u0000A CI user who can recognize music with lyrics may not recognize the same song without lyrics (Gfeller et al., 2008). Use of lyrics can help CI","PeriodicalId":89325,"journal":{"name":"ASHA leader","volume":"2009 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57661516","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}
