Strategies for improving music perception and enjoyment: a case study of a deafblind musician with cochlear implants
The interviewee's experiences highlight a proactive approach to integrating CI auditory cues with extensive musical expertise. The study underscores the importance of personalized CI programming, audiologist support and adaptive strategies in enhancing music perception and enjoyment for CI users. While based on a single case, the findings provide insights into how CI users develop individualized approaches to music. This study advocates for a multidisciplinary approach to CI programming, accommodating diverse hearing histories and musical backgrounds.
