How Switching Musical Instruments Affects Pitch Discrimination for Cochlear Implant Users
The magnitude of the effect of instrument switching on pitch resolution was similar for CI users and their peers with no known hearing loss. However, CI users were biased toward ranking tenor saxophone as higher in pitch and were significantly more affected by instrument switching for pitches near A5. These findings might reflect poorer temporal coding of fundamental frequency by CIs.
