ABSTRACT
Musical auditory habilitation is an essential process in adapting cochlear implant recipients to the musical hearing context provided by cochlear implants. However, due to the cost and time limitation, it is impossible for hearing healthcare professionals to provide intensive and extensive musical auditory habilitation for every cochlear implant recipient. In order to provide an efficient and cost-effective musical auditory training for children with cochlear implants, we designed and developed MObile Games with Auditory Training (MOGAT) on off-the-shelf mobile devices. MOGAT includes three intuitive and interesting mobile games for training pitch perception and production, and a cloud-based web service for music therapists to support and evaluate individual habilitation. We demonstrate MOGAT for enhancing musical habilitation for children with cochlear implants.
