    Music and psychoacoustic perception abilities in cochlear implant users with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
    (ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020) ÇİPRUT, AYŞE AYÇA; Yuksel, Mustafa; Ciprut, Ayca
    Objective: Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is a condition wherein the pre-neural or cochlear outer hair cell activity is intact, but the neural activity in the auditory nerve is disrupted. Cochlear implant (CI) can be beneficial for subjects with ANSD; however, lithe is known about the music perception and psychoacoustic abilities of CI users with ANSD. Music perception in CI users is a multidimensional and complex ability requiring the contribution of both auditory and nonauditory abilities. Even though auditory abilities lay the foundation, the contribution of patient-related variables such as ANSD may affect the music perception. This study aimed to evaluate the psychoacoustic and music perception abilities of CI recipients with ANSD. Study design: Twelve CI users with ANSD and twelve age- and gendermatched CI users with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) were evaluated. Music perception abilities were measured using the Turkish version of the Clinical Assessment of Music Perception (T-CAMP) test. Psychoacoustic abilities were measured using the spectral ripple discrimination (SRD) and temporal modulation transfer function (TMTF) tests. In addition, the age of diagnosis and implantation was recorded. Results: Pitch direction discrimination (PDD), timbre recognition, SRD, and TMTF performance of CI users with ANSD were concordant with those reported in previous studies, and differences between ANSD and SNHL groups were not statistically significant. However, the ANSD group performed poorly compared with SNHL group in melody recognition subtest of T-CAMP, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: CI can prove beneficial for patients with ANSD with respect to their music and psychoacoustic abilities, similar to patients with SNHL, except for melody recognition. Recognition of melodies requires both auditory and non-auditory abilities, and ANSD may have an extensive but subtle effect in the life of CI users.

    Music Listening Habits and Music Perception Abilities of Prelingually Deafened Adolescent Cochlear Implant Recipients
    (THIEME MEDICAL PUBL INC, 2020-11) ÇİPRUT, AYŞE AYÇA; Yuksel, Mustafa; Atilgan, Atilim; Ciprut, Ayca
    Background Music is a very important art form that can evoke strong emotions and involvement with it can have a considerable impact on cochlear implant (CI) recipients' quality of life. It is well known that music perception is limited in CI with fully electric hearing and CI recipients have significantly poorer music-appraisal ability when compared with normal hearing subjects. Considering the importance of music on the life of an adolescent and negative impact of hearing loss on mental health, understanding and improving music listening habits and perception abilities can have a positive impact on the mental health of CI user adolescents. Purpose This study aims to evaluate music listening habits and music perception abilities of prelingually deafened adolescent CI users to reveal the relationship between self-reported assessment and psychophysical measurement. Research Design The psychophysical measures of music perception and self-reported music listening habits of adolescent CI users were obtained. Study Sample Twenty-nine prelingually deafened adolescent CI users were evaluated in this study. Data Collection and Analysis The Turkish Clinical Assessment of Music Perception (T-CAMP) test was used to evaluate music perception abilities. These abilities were evaluated with a three-item questionnaire assessing enjoyment of music, listening habits, and comprehension of lyrics. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to assess the relationship between the T-CAMP subtests and questionnaire items. Results Statistically significant correlations were observed between the melody-recognition subtest of T-CAMP and all three questionnaire items. The correlation between the enjoyment and rate items on the questionnaire was also statistically significant. Conclusion The present study shows that adolescent CI users also enjoy and listen to music in ways similar to postlingually deafened adult CI users. It also demonstrates that melody-recognition abilities have a significant relationship with music enjoyment and listening habits in prelingually deafened adolescent CI users.
