Tonotopic and Default Frequency Fitting for Music Perception in Cochlear Implant Recipients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Cochlear implants are an effective technique for enhancing speech perception abilities in quiet environments for people with severe to profound deafness. Nevertheless, complex sound signals perception, such as music perception, remains challenging for cochlear implant users.

Objective

To assess the benefit of a tonotopic map on music perception in new cochlear implant users.

Design, setting, and participants

A prospective, randomized, double-blind, 2-period crossover study including 26 new cochlear implant users was performed over a 6-month period (June 2021 to November 2021). An anatomical tonotopic map was created using postoperative flat-panel computed tomography and a reconstruction software based on Greenwood function. New cochlear implant users older
