Music training for concerts for people with hearing aids or cochlear implants

This pilot study presents and evaluates a music training methodology for hearing aid
and
cochlear implant users. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect that the training
has on
concert experiences, a highly under-researched area for the hearing impaired.
Basic Study Information
Purpose:
This is a study of a novel music-listening training intervention. Half the subjects
will be randomly assigned to the music listening training modules intervention and
the remaining subjects will be assigned to the waitlist control (offered the intervention
upon study completion). All subjects will: (1) attend two 45- to 60-minute concerts
held at the Eastman School of Music, approximately 10 to 12 weeks apart; (2) complete
2 questionnaires directly following the concerts about their music listening habits,
preferred music genres, and issues associated with attending concerts. Between the
two concerts, individuals in the intervention arm will be provided 15-minute training
sessions as podcasts that subjects can listen to twice a week for 8 weeks (16 podcasts)
at times and places of their choosing.
