Music-Integrated Phonological Awareness training program

We would like to observe the effect of the music integrated phonological awareness program on preschool cochlear implant users and to compare the phonological awareness skills of the study group with the control group before and after the online training. The program is prepared as 10 lessons. Participants were guided through online training for 5 weeks, with 20-minute sessions conducted weekly. The training was carried out via Zoom, a free virtual interview program. Each family had a computer.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Spectral-Temporally Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT)

Spectral-Temporally Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT) was used to assess the spectral discrimination ability of the study group.Speech stimuli were presented at a calibrated presentation level of 60 dB SPL in a quiet room. The child was positioned at 0° azimuth and 1-meter from the loudspeaker.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Phonological Awareness Scale of Early Childhood Period (PASECP)

The Phonological Awareness Scale of Early Childhood Period (PASECP) was used to measure the sound awareness and sound discrimination skills of study group pre-post training. The test has 8 sub-dimensions.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Mismatch Negativity Test

Mismatch Negativity (MMN) was used to evaluate the central auditory system.The test was used for electrophysiological recordings of the study group.The standard stimulus presented as /ba/ (%80), and the rare stimulus presented as /da/ (%20) frequency. The onset (rise) and offset (fall) times of the stimuli are 10 ms, and the plateau time is 50 ms. The interval between stimuli for both responses was 1.1 ms. A 0.1-30 Hz filter was applied. The speech stimuli intensity was 70 dB SPL. Speech stimuli were presented at a 1-meter distance from the participant, with speakers placed at an angle of 0°.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Early Language Development (TELD-3)

Test of Early Language Development (TELD-3) measured children's receptive and expressive language skills both group for inclusion criteria.
