Cochlear Implant Electrode Placement and Music Perception.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Cochlear implants enable improvements in speech perception, but music perception outcomes remain variable. Image-guided cochlear implant programming has emerged as a potential programming strategy for increasing the quality of spectral information delivered through the cochlear implant to improve outcomes.

Objectives

To perform 2 experiments, the first of which modeled the variance in music perception scores as a function of electrode positioning factors, and the second of which evaluated image-guided cochlear implant programming as a strategy to improve music perception with a cochlear implant.

Design, setting, and participants

This single-center, prospective study recruited 50 adult patients with at least 6 months of cochlear implant listening experience
