Musiktherapie bei erwachsenen CI-Trägern

Abstract

Music perception shows deficits in CI users compared to normally hearing persons. After individual music therapy in the rehabilitation process, improvements in this delicate area could be achieved.

Enhancing Cochlear Implant Outcomes across Age Groups: The Interplay of Forward Focus and Advanced Combination Encoder Coding Strategies in Noisy Conditions

“…If conventional hearing aid treatment is insufficient or not indicated, cochlear implants (CIs) may be an alternative to facilitate hearing by bypassing the inner ear and stimulating the auditory nerve electrically [ 7 ]. CI-mediated hearing differs from normal hearing in quality and timbre [ 8 ] and also speech perception is still not comparable to normal hearing.…”

Development of the Musi-CI Training, A Musical Listening Training for Cochlear Implant Users: A Participatory Action Research Approach

“…The intrinsic value of music lies in its power to connect people in social situations (whether joyful, sorrowful, angry or peaceful) and at several levels of interaction, leading to increased interconnectedness and strengthened interpersonal bonds ( Cross, 2009 ). In this way music contributes to our psychological and social sense of well-being ( Dritsakis et al, 2017 ; Hutter et al, 2016 ; Magele et al, 2022 ; Riley et al, 2018 ; van Besouw et al, 2015 ).…”

“…Reported studies indicate a diversity in training formats, ranging from approximately 4 weeks ( Chari et al, 2020 ; Driscoll, 2012 ; Fuller et al, 2018 ) to approximately 16 weeks of sessions ( Looi & She, 2010 ; Magele et al, 2022 ; Vandali et al, 2015 ) and varying from in-person lessons ( Hutter et al, 2016 ; Magele et al, 2022 ; Plant, 2015 ) to online computer-based exercises ( Driscoll et al, 2009 ; Jiam et al, 2019 ; Smith et al, 2017 ; van Besouw et al, 2015 ; Vandali et al, 2015 ; Vickers et al, 2021 ). The literature recommends a variety of exercises to contribute to greater music enjoyment, such as practising with simple arrangements of familiar, monophonic music in a slow tempo, subsequently expanding in complexity ( Prevoteau et al, 2018 ), adding visual cues ( Chari et al, 2020 ; Plant, 2015 ; Vickers et al, 2021), working with the timbre of instruments ( Driscoll, 2012 ), and practising with melodic contours ( Chari et al, 2020 ; Fuller et al, 2018 ).…”

“…It also illustrates the advantage of in-person training, i.e. the opportunity to bring CI users in contact with their peers to discuss acceptance of the new sound of the CI ( Hutter et al, 2016 ) and to promote social interaction ( Fuller et al, 2018 ). Computer-based training programmes are generally considered as supportive tools, facilitating practice outside the clinical context (Jiam et al, 2019; Smith et al, 2017 ; van Besouw et al, 2015 ).…”
