Objectives

To evaluate music perception and enjoyment following cochlear implantation and its impact on quality of life (QOL).

Material and method

Eighty-eight adult post-lingually deaf cochlear implant users entered the study. The music questionnaire analyzed musical background, listening habits, and quality of musical sound through the cochlear implant. Music perception was evaluated with the Primary Measures of Music Audiation (PMMA). The Glasgow Benefit Inventory evaluated the quality of life (QOL). The music questionnaires, the PMMA and the GBI were completed by 84%, 74%, and 82% of patients, respectively.

Results

Subjective enjoyment of music and listening habits decreased post-implantation when compared with prior to deafness. Mean scores for music perception were: tone 71%, rhythm 78%, timbre 61%, songs 59%, and melodies 23%. The quality of music sound through the cochlear implant was associated with music enjoyment and with QOL.

Conclusions

Music enjoyment and perception are possible with a cochlear implant. The quality of music sound through the cochlear implant influences post-operative QOL.

Objetivos

Evaluar la percepción y el disfrute de la música tras la implantación coclear y su impacto en la calidad de vida.

Material y método

Participaron en el estudio 88 adultos con sordera poslocutiva y portadores de un implante coclear. El cuestionario de la música analizó la experiencia musical, los hábitos musicales y la calidad del sonido musical a través del implante coclear. Para estudiar la percepción de la música se empleó el PMMA (Primary Measures of Music Audiation). La calidad de vida fue evaluada mediante el GBI (Glasgow Benefit Inventory). El cuestionario de la música, el PMMA y el GBI fueron contestados por el 84, el 74, y el 82% de los pacientes, respectivamente.

Resultados

El disfrute de la música y los hábitos musicales disminuyeron tras el implante coclear cuando se compararon con la situación previa a la sordera. Los valores medios de percepción de la música fueron: tono, el 71%; ritmo, el 78%; timbre, el 61%; canciones, el 59%, y melodías, el 23%. La calidad del sonido de la música a través del implante coclear se relacionó con el disfrute de la música y con la calidad de vida.

Conclusiones

Es posible disfrutar y percibir la música con un implante coclear. La calidad del sonido de la música a través del implante influye en la calidad de vida.
