Cochlear implant recipients are not ideally suited for conveying several key features of music, though interestingly, Cl users vary considerably in their music perception and enjoyment. This presentation will focus on those stimuli characteristics, device technology, and individual differences that help us understand variability in Cl user satisfaction with music listening.
