Children who experience hearing problems can be cured with the installation or cochlear implants (inner ear cochlea). Music classes after surgery could sharpen its ability capture the sound.
Cochlear implant is a procedure of planting a hearing aid in the form of electrodes that are made through the temporal bone surgery to replace the function of the cochlea as the organ of hearing.
These tools help them understand speech and other sounds in the environment. Implant works by bypassing the damaged inner ear and directly to the auditory nerve.
Intensive therapy conducted post-implantation may help deaf children to learn to speak and understand language. But according to a study led by Dr. Joshua Kuang-Chao Chen of Cheng Hsin of the General Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, kids are difficult to enjoy the sound of music after cochlear implant.
"Unbelievably important that children who underwent cochlear implant can learn to appreciate music and the main goal of cochlear implantation is to help hearing children is to return to a normal school," says Dr. Lieber Po-Hung Li, who was involved in research This.
Li added the music class is an important therapy, because the music included in this type of sound the most complicated in the world. To increase the perception that this does not only affect the experience of his music but also their perceptions of other kinds of sounds.
Overall child music classes for 20 months can increase the perception of his voice to be 92.5 percent, whereas if only 3 months can improve the perception by 56 percent. For this study, researchers analyzed 27 children aged 5-14 years who underwent a cochlear implant. Chen found the longer the children taking music classes, the better perception of some types of sound.
The results of this study have been published in the journal Pediatrics.
