The collation is below. These responses were= either sent to the list or to me privately (in the latter case, they are r= eproduced with permission). Regards, Ani Patel http://ase.tufts.edu/psychology/people/patel/ Responses to query on deafness and music Original Query, sent Nov 10, 2017: Dear List, This new video on deafness and music may interest some of you: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/03/opinion/cochlear-implant-sound-music.htm= l If any of you have references to research studies on how deaf individuals p= erceive / respond to music, can you please send me the citation(s)? I am t= rying to assemble a bibliography for my students. Thanks, Ani Patel Responses ---------------------------------------------------------- From Ken Grant: Please look up the work done in the early 80s with the indigo girls who tou= red with a sign interpreter. That's because they had a large deaf following= . Surely says a lot about deaf love of music. --- From Pauline Tranchant & Martha Shiell: Thank you for sharing this video. We recently published the study presented= at ICMPC in 2016: Tranchant, P., Shiell, M. M., Giordano, M., Nadeau, A., Peretz, I., & Zator= re, R. J. (2017). Feeling the beat: bouncing synchronization to vibrotactil= e music in hearing and early deaf people. Frontiers in neuroscience, 11, 50= 7. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2017.00507/full --- From Peter Lennox: This ref might be useful: https://ahlab.org/sites/default/files/p_nanayakkara_2013_2.pdf Enhancing Musical Experience for the Hearing-Impaired Using Visual and Hapt= ic Displays Suranga Chandima Nanayakkara, Lonce Wyse, S. H. Ong, and Elizabeth A. Tay= lor --- From Ritva Torrpa: Please see also the article on Signmark, a deaf, Finnish rap-artist. Not sc= ientific, but maybe interesting. Like most deaf, he has residual hearing, b= ut he identifies to the culture of deaf. The story of those with CIs is c= ompletely different. https://finland.fi/arts-culture/signmark-does-what-he-wants/ --- From Tilak Ratnanather: One has to remember the heterogenity and diversity among people with hearin= g loss. Kolb can only speak for herself. My old school - Mary Hare School - is the designated national grammar scho= ol for deaf children in the UK and was the first known school for the deaf = to formally introduce music into the curriculum. As someone who witnessed t= hat in the 1970s, I wrote an article on the evolution of music at Mary Hare= - http://www-usr.rider.edu/~vrme/v14n1/vision/Ratnanather%20Final2.%20.pdf The school also offers music therapy for all children regardless of hearing= loss or not https://www.maryhare.org.uk/music-0 https://www.maryhare.org.uk/music https://www.maryhare.org.uk/music-technology Apologies for the shameless plug for the school that made me what I am now. --- From Frank Russo: We've put on a number of concerts for the deaf and there are a few publicat= ions related to this work but they were not very scientific - this was done= in collaboration with Faculty in Fine Arts and New Media. We recently publ= ished a good study investigating music training in deaf children with CI's.= I think that there are links to most of this work on my ResearchGate profi= le --- From Daniele Schon: I was last week in Paris for a conference on music and deafness. Mostly neu= rosciences and rehabilitation but some music perception in CI. Nice present= ation of current work by Jeremy Marozeau, showing that the perceived tensio= n in a musical piece (real performance) is the same for CI holders and norm= al hearing people. However, when scrambling the pitches the tension changes= for NH people while it does not for CI. Very nice work. Not sure it is out= yet. You can ask him, he is a very nice person. --- From Leon van Noorden: I am married already nearly 14 years with a congenital profoundly deaf lady= . She is deaf from birth to such a degree that she never could hear human spe= ech. Only when a dog would bark hard with a low sound near to her head she = would perceive it, but it could have been transduced by the sense of vibrat= ion. Music means a lot to her. She had many years of piano lessons, and she can = sing many children's songs, although monotonously. She can speak and lip re= ad very fluently in Spanish, her mother language, and French, as second lan= guage. We speak French between us. She reports that her speech improved a l= ot during a year after college of studying orthophony . She stopped this st= udy as it became clear that she would never be able to hear a patients voic= e, but it helped her later a lot to study her second language. After obtaining a degree in electronics and telecommunication, during which= she had of course to organise her note taking with the aid of other studen= ts and the university, she got the opportunity to enter a doctoral school i= n France, while doing research on a hearing aid in a laboratory of France T= elecom. This enabled her to obtain a doctorate in applied acoustics. In her= working life she entered in marketing in this Telecom operator and became = later responsible for equipment and services for handicapped and elderly pe= ople, now known under the title Accessibility. She felt never the need for a cochlear implant. My wife grew up in a specia= l family: of the 12 children 5 are normal hearing the rest are profoundly d= eaf from birth. She was the first deaf after 4 normal hearing ones. I think= that there are not many deaf persons that are so well integrated in the he= aring world as these ones are. Of course it would be difficult to say how t= heir experience would have been if they all would have had a CI at the age = of 3 month as is common now. On the other hand my wife thinks that even wit= h a CI hearing will not be the same a normal hearing. She knows deaf friend= s where the CI support substantially lipreading, but would not enable to un= derstand speech while not looking at the other person. I would like to add = that also in cases where it is not possible to obtain a CI a deaf person ca= n integrate very well in society. And also that such a person helps us, "no= rmal" people, to understand that there are more ways through which we perce= ive our environment than we usually think. Hope you find this interesting. Don't hesitate if you or any of your studen= ts want to know more details. ---- Final note from Ani Patel -- This reference might be of interest: Iversen, J. R., Patel, A.
