Abstract
The cochlear implant is an assistive heaving device designed primarily to assist in speech perception. One may believe that children with cochlear implants would experience much less pleasant and meaningful musical experiences than children with normal heaving. To date, however, only anecdotal information is available. The purpose of this paper was to investigate this area move systematically. A questionnaire on musical involvement and appreciation was distributed to the parents of children who use implants. Results indicate that a large proportion of these children ave involved in some type of formal or informal musical activity,few accommodations are provided informal music class, and musical enjoyment can be optimized. In addition, correlations between speech measures and general attitude toward music show that children who are involved and enjoy music ave move likely to be those who demonstrate greater competency with aural/oral skills.
