Benefits of Online Music Training for Cochlear Implant Recipients
Johanna Boyer, MED-EL
Music enjoyment is of importance for many cochlear implant users and the interest in music training is high, but many cochlear implant users report that it is a challenge to find suitable training resources and stall because they don't know how to practice. Meludia is an online music training program that provides structured and guided music training for musically experienced and inexperienced children and adults, which is designed to enable them to be successful. The program has great potential because it is offered in 23 different languages and therefore can be used globally; it is easily accessible and convenient to use because it allows for an individual schedule; and because it is such a comprehensive music training tool, it gives users the chance to work on individual goals regardless of their present abilities. In this presentation I will share recent research findings demonstrating benefits for music, speech and quality of life.

The HearMus seminar series provides a monthly forum for the discussion of a broad array of topics around music and hearing health. The series aims to yield a state of the art of research on music perception and hearing impairment, hearing aids and music, and individual differences in music perception and production. Besides presentations from experts in academia and industry, the seminar series seeks to foster lively discussions and exchange of ideas, with the joint goal of sustaining and enhancing access to music for people with diverse hearing needs.
