| ABSTRACT |
Purpose:
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of 10-week auditory training using music on speech recognition and working memory for children wearing cochlear implants.
Method:
A total of seven (mean: 5 years 11 months) children wearing cochlear implants participated. Training sessions were conducted in a group. The training was given for ten sessions, one session per week. In the present study, word recognition score, speech recognition score, speech comprehension, digit and word working memory were evaluated at three times; one at the one-week before training, another at the right before 1st session training and the last one at the end of the 10th training session. The music training program was composed of the memory of rhythm, melody, tempo, song lyrics and playing musical instruments.
Results:
Results showed that speech recognition was significantly improved, but the working memory was not significantly changed after 10-week music training. Individual variables were revealed.
Conclusion:
Music training seemed to be effective to improve speech recognition for cochlear implant users. However, generalization and retention of training effect were not evaluated. More clinical studies are needed to prove the efficacy of music auditory training. |
