Abstract

The enjoyment of music is still difficult for many cochlear implant users. This study aimed to assess cognitive, engagement, and technical responses to new music composed specifically for CI users. From 407 concertgoers who completed a questionnaire, responses from groups of normally-hearing listeners (NH, n = 44) and CI users (n = 44), matched in age and musical ability, were compared to determine whether specially-commissioned works would elicit similar responses from both groups. No significant group differences were found on measures of interest, enjoyment and musicality, whereas ratings of understanding and instrument localization and recognition were significantly lower from CI users. Overall, ratings of the music were typically higher for percussion pieces. The concert successfully elicited similar responses from both groups in terms of interest, enjoyment and musicality, although technical aspects, such as understanding, localisation, and instrument identification continue to be problematic for CI users.
