1 Hearing the Universal Language: Music and Cochlear Implants Professor Hugh McDermott Deputy Director (Research) The Bionics Institute of Australia, Professorial Fellow The University of Melbourne Overview? MUSIC, HEARING, AND DEAFNESS MUSIC PERCEPTION WITH COCHLEAR IMPLANTS IMPROVING THE MUSIC LISTENING EXPERIENCE THE FUTURE What is music? 1
2 Music is the universal language of mankind Henry Wadsworth Longfellow What is music? It s hard to define, but most people have an opinion about it. Whatever the style, musical sounds are usually composed of the same basic elements Do Cochlear Implant Users Enjoy Listening to Music? Numerical ratings of enjoyment of music from 0 ( not at all ) to 10 ( very much ): 35 adult implant recipients (Mirza et al., 2003) before onset of profound hearing loss: 8.7 after receiving a cochlear implant: users who listened to music with the CI: 5.6 But for children who use cochlear implants and who have no recollection of natural hearing, subjective appraisal of musical sounds is generally similar to that of their normally hearing peers There is very wide variability across individual listeners! How Well Do Cochlear Implant Users Perceive Musical Sounds? Identification of musical instrument sounds Adult CI users listened to recordings of 16 different instrument sounds, and were asked to name each instrument 2

5 Spectrum of a Musical Note at Middle-C F0: 262 Hz Level (db) Frequency (Hertz) Pitch information is present in both the temporal and spectral features of acoustic signals The natural auditory system can make use of both types of information to determine the pitch of sounds, and therefore cochlear implants attempt to deliver both temporal and spectral information Acoustic Frequency Analysis in the Cochlea 5
6 Hair-cells Convert Mechanical Waves into Neural Activity Sensorineural Deafness and Cochlear Implants When the hair-cells are damaged or absent, amplification of sounds by a conventional acoustic hearing aid is often not effective but direct electrical stimulation of surviving auditory neurons can create a sensation of sound Schematic Design of a Cochlear Implant System Microphone Audio signal Sound Processor Radio signal Implant Electrical stimuli Skin 6

Rhythm Pitch Timbre 12

16 Timbre Perception Typically evaluated in terms of musical instrument recognition Results depend on many factors: number of different sounds in tests familiarity of listeners with instruments coincident variations across sounds (loudness, etc) In one study, the same subjects were tested before receiving a cochlear implant (with hearing aids) and then later when using the implant Average Unaided Hearing Thresholds Pre implant From: Looi V, McDermott H, McKay C, Hickson L: The effect of cochlear implantation on music perception by adults with usable pre operative acoustic hearing.

17 Do child cochlear implant users perceive music better than adult implant users? Comparisons are difficult, because simpler tests are often used, and no attempt is made to restrict the auditory cues that are available to listeners Pitch-Pattern Discrimination by Child Implant Users Short melody discrimination Percent correct chance score 50% 20 0 Normally hearing CI users Musical Instrument Identification by Child Implant Users Instrument ID 100 Percent correct Normally hearing CI users 17
18 How Can Music Perception be Improved for Cochlear Implant Listeners? By using bilateral implants? most bilateral recipients generally prefer using two devices rather than one, but no evidence has been reported that it improves perception of musical pitch, etc. By using a specific type of sound-processing scheme? there is no evidence of large differences between commercial sound processors for music listening even for experimental sound-processing schemes designed specifically for music perception, most differences reported are small fine temporal structure? How Can Music Perception be Improved for Cochlear Implant Listeners? By improving the listening conditions music perception will be best when the listening situation is relatively free from background noise and excessive reverberation many implant users prefer to listen to familiar music, particularly if there are recognizable lyrics or visual cues, etc. By applying auditory training there is some evidence that structured training programs help cochlear implant users obtain more satisfaction from music listening but training is useful only when the listener can build on existing perceptual abilities How Can Music Perception be Improved for Cochlear Implant Listeners? By making best use of natural acoustic hearing whenever possible Bimodal hearing = any combination of cochlear implants and hearing aids (or unaided hearing) the number of implant recipients with usable acoustic hearing is large and increasing in general, the most useful hearing that cochlear implant recipients may have is at low frequencies low-frequency hearing complements the cochlear implant particularly for pitch perception sound quality is generally better when acoustic hearing is used in combination with a cochlear implant 18

20 Frequency Mapping Pitch Matching most-apical electrode(s) may be disabled APICAL HA CI - conventional Electrode array CI - matched BASAL LOW Frequency HIGH Summary Many cochlear implant recipients listen to music and enjoy it Some elements of musical sound particularly pitch are difficult for implant users to perceive accurately Child implant users generally report liking music more than adult recipients, but don t necessarily score better on objective tests Music perception can be enhanced by optimizing the listening conditions, and by application of focused auditory training Bimodal device usage (combining acoustic and electric hearing) generally improves music perception If implant recipients have no usable acoustic hearing, then future improvements in music perception will require further development of electrode arrays and sound processing techniques 20
