“…Current day cochlear implant (CI) recipients are often able to understand open set speech in quiet and noisy environments (Blamey et al, 2012;Holden et al, 2013) and some enjoy listening to music (Gfeller et al, 2000;Prause-Weber & Schraer-Joiner, 2007;Looi et al, 2012;). In addition to this, CI recipients can also expect improved environmental sound awareness, language development, quality of life, and psychological wellbeing (Blamey et al, 2012;Litovsky et al, 2009;Tyler, 1994).…”

“…Additionally, multimodal communication is highlighted in these special circumstances. The personal and expressive language a person uses might not change due to the deteriorating sense, but the methods and modalities of receiving and communicating with peers might change many times during a person's lifetime [21].…”

Deafblind persons' perception and experiences are based on their residual auditive and visual senses, and touch. Their haptic exploration, through movements and orientation towards objects give blind persons direct, independent experience. Few studies explore the aesthetic experiences and appreciation of artefacts of deafblind people using cochlear implant (CI) technology, and how they interpret and express their perceived aesthetic experience through another sensory modality. While speech recognition is studied extensively in this area, the aspect of auditive descriptions made by CI users are a less-studied domain. This present research intervention describes and analyses five different deafblind people sharing their interpretation of five statues vocally, using sounds and written descriptions based on their haptic explorations. The participants found new and multimodal ways of expressing their experiences, as well as re-experiencing them through technological aids. We also found that the CI users modify technology to better suit their personal needs. We conclude that CI technology in combination with self-made sound descriptions enhance memorization of haptic art experiences that can be re-called by the recording of the sound descriptions. This research expands the idea of auditive descriptions, and encourages user-produced descriptions as artistic supports to traditional linguistic, audio descriptions. These can be used to create personal auditive-haptic memory collections similar to how sighted create photo albums.
