Abstract

How well do cochlear implant (CI) users perceive music? The short answer is: not very well, at least for the average CI recipient. This chapter reviews much of the published evidence about the perception of musical sounds by CI users, discusses both the design of sound processors and the psychophysical findings that may explain the generally poor perception of music experienced with today’s CI systems, and finally presents some suggestions about how music perception may be improved in future.
