Adults Do Enjoy Music with Cochlear Implants! in partnership with American Cochlear Implant Alliance
Course: #35602Level: Intermediate 1 Hour 161 Reviews
The perception of music for cochlear implant recipients is different than for individuals with normal hearing due to how the elements of music are coded through cochlear implant systems. Despite certain limitations, cochlear implants do offer opportunities for enjoying and appreciating music with the new sound from a cochlear implant. This course is presented by AudiologyOnline in partnership with ACIA.
