11. Geers 2003 Who: 181 8- and 9-year olds Objective: Looks at factors that may influence language use with 4 to 7 years of CI use Results: More than œ exhibited language skills similar to NH peers Primary rehabilitative factors associated with linguistic outcome: 1. Amount of mainstreaming 2. Education emphasis on speech and auditory skills.
14. Why Music? Large proportion of children who use implants are involved in some type of formal or informal music activity Music enjoyment can be optimized Correlations between speech measures and general attitude toward music Gfeller 1998
15. Jentschke 2009 Compared neural correlates of language-and music-syntactic processing between children with and without long-term musical training Results suggest: The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying syntax processing in music and language are developed earlier, and more strongly, in children with musical training
16. Marin 2009 Children with music training showed enhanced language abilities, particularly in morphologic rule formation and memory for words In children, musical training has been positively associated with prosodic and pronunciation abilities, phonological awareness, reading and mathematical skills, as well as general IQ
23. Identified excerpts at better than chance levels (but only when they heard the original versions).

25. Yucel 2009: Family-oriented musical training for children with CIs 9 CCI with training and 9 CCI without training (control) Determine whether pitch and rhythm perception improve more rapidly through training and to assess the impact of training on speech perception Method Conclusion: Music training program helps appreciation of music and may enhance their progress in other auditory domains after cochlear implantation in children.
26. Using Music to Support Language Skills Expressive and Receptive Language Skills Using music for enunciation and articulation E.g. âBubblesâ song Music may help the child with the sequencing of sounds and words within songs, which can facilitate, stimulate, or refine speech (Zoller, 1991)
27. Using music to enhance auditory skills Sound/No Sound When does the instrument play? Sound discrimination Instrument game â Different or the same?

All CI children discussed were prelingually-deafened before they were implanted
http://www.kidshealth.org.nz/images/Speech%20sound%20development%20chart%20copy.jpgAge levels for speech sound development for normal hearing
Abnormal resonance: example would be hyper or hypo nasality.Prosody: such as inflection and phrasing. Prosody example: Ends of clauses in speech are marked by syllable lengthening and a drop in pitch (Saffran 2004)Children with CI perceived vowel place extremely well immediately after implantation, most perceived initial voicing at chance level until 2 to 3 years after implantation (after which scores improved by 60 to 70%). Manner: HOW is the sound producedPlace = place of articulation (e.e. t versus k) is the most difficult to identify. Bilabial, labiodental, etc.Voicing: Are the vocal cords vibrating? (f vs. v)âŠtry with me!! Ffff vvvvvvThe hierarchy in speech pattern contrast perception and production was similar between the implanted and the normal-hearing children.LARGE INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AMONG CHILDREN WITH Cis (Tyler, 1997).
Have website to uiowa website with listening examples of cochlear implant language development. Use Children #3 and #4.Abnormal resonance and difficulty with the use of syllable and word-level stress may continue to be a problem for children with Cis.When implantation occurs during the preschool period, the rates of speech and expressive and receptive language development accelerate to match those of normal children, although gaps may remain, since the children did not start hearing until after the first three critical years.Intelligibility, vocabulary, and syntax all benefit from implantation, although children appear to dwell at the two-word stage for a longer than normal period of time.Age at implantation seems to have a significant effect on outcome in these studies, which children implanted earlier achieving higher outcome levels.
(for prelingually deaf children)Components of an integrated approach to cochlear implant rehabilitationâŠ3 equal categories. Rehabilitative strategies should seek to achieve overall communicative competence, listening, speaking, language, and pragmatics.Other factors, such as environmental support for audition, family commitment, educational emphasis, expectations, and quality of the rehabilitation program as also viewed as essential determinants of the childâs auditory performance with a cochlear implant.
Objective:Study factors contributing to comprehension/production of English by prelingually-deafened children after 4 to 7 years of CI useSooooo, do more things to encourage/support mainstream class placement and emphasize speech and auditory skills (âŠ.we can do this through music!)
The development of auditory awareness and the ability to attend to various environmental and speech soundsThe ability to imitate what is heard through the integration of speech perception and speech productionThe development of a connection between what is heard and what it representsThe integration of auditory skills as a foundation for understanding and processing new information through spoken language.
A hierarchy of listening skills, beginning with simple detection of sound, discrimination, identification, and comprehension of meaningful auditory information
Knowing all of this, why would we use music to with the CCI?Correlations between speech measures and general attitude toward music show that children who are involved and enjoy music are more likely to be those who demonstrate greater competency with aural/oral skillsWork on Better Music Perception = better speech? Better speech = better music perception?
IN NH CHILDRENSyntax processing in language and music has been shown to rely on overlapping neural resources
Who: NH 4-5 year oldsCorrelations between phonological awareness, musical perceptual skills, and nonverbal reasoning were also observed.
First of all, before we talk about music with Cis, we must first make sure that we are aware of the current music marketing out there for children with Cis.Showcases all of the positives, and they donât warn them that there might be some negatives.References such as articles by Dr. Gfeller
Music is a habilitation method: Introducing new concepts of sound, like temporal and frequency-related characteristics, is a crucial part of the habilitation of a child with a cochlear implant.Trehub 2009: The motivation of children with implants for listening to music or melodious speech is evident well before they understand language. Within months after receiving their implant, they prefer singing to silence. They also prefer speech in the maternal style to typical adult speech (like Giovanna said, infant over adult-directed speech).
While music fundamentally differs from speech, music does share several similarities to spoken language. In both speech and music, sounds of varying frequency, duration, and timbre unfold over time to communicate a message, whether concrete or abstract. Both convey prosodic information (such as inflection and phrasing). Figure 1. a. the words âhappy birthdayâ recited in a normal speaking voice; b. the same words using to the familiar melody; c. the same melody played by a solo piano.One major difference in speech and music is the distribution of spectral energy. In human speech, the spectral energy is often distributed over many frequencies and their respective harmonic partials. However in music, the spectral energy of a pitched musical note emphasizes the fundamental and its harmonic partials.
The perception of change in pitch direction is crucial to the comprehension of a melody. Cochlear implant recipients often have greater difficulty perceiving small pitch intervals, such as those in the lower left-hand melody, as well as difficulty perceiving changes in pitch direction, such as those in the lower right-hand melody.The ability to detect the direction and interval in changes of pitch is crucial in identifying melodic contours. Also, the implant users performed slightly worse in the lower frequency musical range. In addition, implant usersâ performance was significantly lower for contours involving interval changes of one or two semitones compared to those contours with five semitone changes between notes. Implant subjects correctly identified âflatâ (no pitch change) contours and least often identified âfallingâ (descending) contours. (Galvin and Fu)
Objectives: To examine the ability of congenitally deaf children to recognize music from incidental exposure and the relations among age at implantation, music listening, and word recognition.Design: Seventeen child implant users who were 4 to 8 yr of age were tested on their recognition and liking of musical excerpts from their favorite television programs. They were also assessed on open- set recognition of three-syllable words. Their parents completed a questionnaire about the childrenâs musical activities.Results: Children identified the musical excerpts at better than chance levels, but only when they heard the original vocal/instrumental versions. Childrenâs initiation of music listening at home was associated with younger ages at implantation and higher word recognition scores.Younger age at implantation increases childrenâs engagement with music, which may enhance their progress IN OTHER AUDITORY DOMAINS.
Results: Music group showed appreciable progress in discriminating the pair of notes an in different levels of speech perception tests and also demonstrated significant familiarity in both determining pitch differences and in melody appraisal. Although their open-set speech perception outcomes were not statistically different from their non-trained peersâ the effect of rhythmic and pitch training sessions was remarkable on the modified open-set speech perception scores by the 3rd month of CI use. This might be an indicator of the positive effect of auditory attention training by musical tasks at early states of implant use. Auditory training not only improves the performance in the targeted listening task, but also the improvement often generalized the auditory tasks that were not explicitly trained. The association between musical training and word recognition is also explained by the effect of focused music listening on training of auditory attention. In other words, learning that occurs in the parameters of music may transfer to other auditory contexts such as verbal memory and sensitivity to prosody.
Music as a motivation for language rehab? For sprasegmentals? For syntax? Mainstream/focus on speech/auditory skills are indicators/predictors of greatest success for CI language learning
Discuss comparison/close association of music and language systems.Listening, turn-takingInstrument game: listen to two verrrrry different instruments: Bells and Drum
Present auditory signal first! If a child gets information visually, there will be little motivation to listenSignal âlistenâ shift from looking to listeningProvide âacoustic highlightingâ. Emphasize key words.Use visual clarifiers: Make a direct connection between a word and what it representsSpeak SlowlyâŠspeech is comprised of very discrete bits of acoustic information presented at a very rapid rate (but donât speak TOO slowly)Allow processing timeâŠUnderstanding speech is a complex, multi-step cognitive process)
Can use all of these with songs!!
âšAnne Wallace and Danielle Kelsay, Clinical CoodinatorsâšâšListen and Speak Up: This summer preschool program was created to promote the spoken language skills of children with hearing impairments regardless of their communication mode. It takes place at The University of Iowa's Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. The preschool meets two mornings a week for six weeks during the summer.The structure for Listen and Speak Up includes thematically-based group sessions to promote communication skill development in natural learning situations, as well as individual sessions (two 30-minute speech/language therapy sessions each day and one 30-minute audiological diagnostic session each week) to focus attention on each individual child's needs. Music therapy provides a unique opportunity to focus on listening / music while reinforcing child's auditory to speech production and language goals. Parent conferences are held weekly.Music therapy, twice a week for thirty minutes each time
