Abstract

In the conversation between Jana and the Jamesons, who are considering a cochlear implant for their son, Jana must provide realistic expectations regarding the likely benefits of CIs for speech perception as well as some drawbacks for perception of musical pitch and tone quality. [...] audiologists can explore with their clients the benefits of preserving acoustic hearing, and the potential synergistic effects of bimodal stimulation to enhance music perception and enjoyment as well as speech perception in background noise.
