Enjoying music

Getting an implant is an exciting time. There’s so much to look forward to. It's no surprise that enjoying music often tops the list of things new cochlear implant recipients want to do.

Some will enjoy music right away. In some cases, though, it may require a bit more work. Some find the initial transmission of musical sound wasn’t what was expected. Others find it difficult to recognize familiar songs at first.

Fortunately, there are ways you can improve your music listening experience. Often it just takes time and practice. With a bit of patience and willingness, you'll have a much greater chance of enjoying, perceiving and participating in music.
