Cochlear implant users often report difficulty when listening to music.
Rehabilitation programs involving training and musical activity have been shown to increase enjoyment of music and measuring music perception can help determine ability and improvement.
This afternoon is a chance to demonstrate some of these activities that are taking place within the Music Focus Group.
