Introduction: Musical perception and appreciation are different among cochlear implant users. The aim of the our study is to evaluate musical perception and appreciation of adults with cochlear implant.
Methods: 34 cochlear implant users who have postlingual hearing loss and no additional problems were included our study. We used Personal Information Form and Cochlear Implant Music Performance Profile for users as data collection tools. Personal Information Form consist of questions about demographic characteristics of the participants. Cochlear Implant Music Performance Profile for users was translated to Turkish and adapted from 'Music Training and Background Questionaire' and 'Listening To Music With A Cochlear Implant Questionaire' were developed by V.Looi. Our study approved by the ethics committee of Hacettepe University and Informed Consent Form was used for all the participants.
Results: When the results were examined, the mean scores of cochlear implant users in perception of percussion instruments such as drum/snare observed to be higher than other instruments. Also, users were more successful in perception of male singer voice than female singer. However, users who have duration of cochlear implant use more than 5 years perceived voice female singer more better quality and natural. There was found statistically significant difference between users who have duration of cochlear implant use more than 5 years and less regarding recognition of orchestral/ choir music and pursue the melody (p <0.05)
Conclusions: Age of cochlear implantation, duration of cochlear implant use, music style and sound features of instruments are very important factors for musical perception and appreciation of users.
