“…The melody perception with the lowest performance should start from the basic level for the music rehabilitation program as the melody perception was noted to be the difficult element. Recently, the research provided a good direction and fine effectiveness of music rehabilitation program for the HAS users [ 38 , 39 ]. A lot of this sort of reports would improve the quality of life for the HAS users including enjoyment of music.…”

Background and Objectives: Recently, the improvement of music perception abilities for emotional stability and high quality of life has become important for the hearing loss group. This study aimed to examine and compare the music perception abilities of the normal hearing (NH) and hearing amplification system (HAS) groups to find the needs and methods of music rehabilitation. Subjects and Methods: The data were collected from 15 NH adults (33.1±11.4 years) and 15 HAS adults (38.7±13.4 years), of whom eight wore cochlear implant [CI] systems and seven wore CI and hearing aid systems depending on pitch, melody, rhythm, timbre, emotional reaction, and harmony perception tests. A mismatch negativity test was also conducted, and attitudes toward and satisfaction with listening to music were measured. Results: The correction percentages for the NH and HAS groups were 94.0%±6.1% and 75.3%±23.2% in the pitch test; 94.0%±7.1% and 30.3%±25.9% in the melody test; 99.3%±1.8% and 94.0%± 7.6% in the rhythm test; 78.9%±41.8% and 64.4%±48.9% in the timbre test; 96.7%±10.4% and 81.7%±16.3% in the emotional reaction test; and 85.7%±14.1% and 58.4%±13.9% in the harmony test, respectively, showing statistical significance (p<0.05). For the mismatch negativity test, the area of the waveform was smaller in the HAS groups than in the NH groups, with 70 dB of stimulation showing no statistical significance. The response rates for satisfaction with listening to music were 80% and 93.3% for the NH and HAS groups, showing no statistical significance. Conclusions: Although the HAS group showed lower music perception ability than the NH group overall, they showed a strong desire for music listening. Also, the HAS group revealed a higher degree of satisfaction even when listening to unfamiliar music played with unusual instruments. It is suggested that systematic and constant musical rehabilitation based on musical elements and different listening experiences will improve music perception qualities and abilities for HAS users.

Purpose: The music rehabilitation program (MRP) promotes auditory, language, cognitive, and motor development of the brain. The significance of MRP was studied through mismatch negativity (MMN) and Music Listening Attitude and Satisfaction Questionnaire for hearing loss (MASQ_H). Methods: Fifteen adult cochlear implant (CI) users (34.5 years; standard deviation, ± 11.6) participated. MMN was tested before and after MRP training at the stimulus intensity level of 70 and 100 dB hearing loss (HL). In addition, MASQ_H was utilized. Results: For the pre- and post-tests of MMN, the average amplitudes of the waveforms were -2.48 ± 1.95 µV and -6.11 ± 4.21 µV and the areas were 208.16 ± 211.59 µV·ms and 527.87 ± 360.42 µV·ms with the significant difference when the stimulus level was presented at 70 dB HL. For MASQ_H, 90.9% of the participants responded that they felt satisfied with listening to music using CI or hearing aid. When asked about the musical factors that were improved in the music listening, the ‘pitch perception’ and ‘timbre perception’ were responded showing increased satisfaction rates. Conclusion: This study confirmed that MRP improved language processing by facilitating auditory processing, cognitive ability, and neural plasticity of the central auditory system through the increased amplitude and area of MMN after MRP application. Furthermore, providing a systematic music training such as MRP could change the music listening attitudes and satisfaction of the CI users’. The active implementation of music rehabilitation is strongly suggested.
