[Data Collection]
Collection description
Introduction: Cochlear implants (CI) had been developed to enable a satisfying verbal communication, music experiences have remained in the background of research and development and consequently many CI users are dissatisfied by the music they listen to. Nonetheless, concise indications for clinicians to test music abilities and prescribe rehabilitation programs are still lacking. The main aim of the present study was to test the utility of the application of two different Patient Reporting Outcomes (PRO) measures in a group of CI users. A secondary objective was to identify items capable of driving the indication and design specific music rehabilitation programs for CI patients. Material and Methods: A consecutive series of 73 CI patients referred to the Audiology Unit - University of Padova - was enrolled from November 2021 to May 2022 and evaluated with audiological battery test and PRO measures: Musica e Qualità della Vita (MUSQUAV) and Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire (NCIQ) Italian version. Results: The Reliability analysis showed good consistency between the different PRO measures, (Cronbach alpha = 0.873). After accounting for epidemiological and clinical variables, PRO measures showed a correlation with audiological outcomes in only one case (rho=-0.170 for NCIQ-T with CI-Pure Tone Average. A willingness for musical rehabilitation was present in 63% of patients, (Rehab Factor, mean value of 0.791±0.675). Conclusions: we support the role of the application of MUSQUAV and NCIQ to improve the clinical and audiological evaluation of CI patients. Moreover, we proposed a derivative item, called Rehab Factor, which could be used in clinical practice and future studies to clarify the indication and priority of specific music rehabilitation programs.
