Overview

Randomized trial examines sound quality's impact on emotion recognition in children with cochlear implants, suggesting selective associations.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate the link between perceived sound quality and auditory emotion recognition in children with cochlear implants, while comparing them to normal-hearing peers.
  • Forty-two children aged 7–18 years participated (21 in CI group, 21 controls).
  • Auditory emotion recognition was assessed using the Montreal Affective Voices with 60 vocalizations representing six emotions.
  • Perceived sound quality was evaluated using the HISQUI19, and HRQoL using HEAR-QL versions.
  • The CI group displayed poorer emotion recognition and lower HRQoL than controls.
  • Positive correlations in the CI group linked perceived sound quality and happiness recognition, along with HRQoL correlating with happiness and fear recognition.
  • Chronological age correlated positively with neutral emotion recognition, while age at implantation negatively impacted pain recognition.
