Subject: [AUDITORY] Music & Science special issue on music and hearing loss - Call for submissions From: Alinka Greasley <0000033f2edfad3c-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2025 17:37:54 +0000 --_000_AM6PR03MB35763382DE77ACD5CCD2AEBD8BAC2AM6PR03MB3576eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear all, The interdisciplinary, open access online journal Music & Science has just = released a special issue on music and hearing loss. Music and hearing loss Description It is estimated that by 2050, 2.5 billion people will be living with hearin= g loss* (WHO, 2024). Hearing loss is a major barrier for accessing music, w= hich can impact negatively on music perception and appreciation and lead to= a reduction in musical activities and associated reduction in quality of l= ife. This special collection is focused on scientific research which seeks = to understand how hearing loss affects music experiences (perception, liste= ning, performance) and how these can be improved for people with all levels= of hearing. This might include approaches to hearing conservation, technic= al improvements to hearing devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implan= ts, and audiological practice. It might also include alternative approaches= to traditional rehabilitation such as vibrotactile perception and other pr= omising augmentation strategies. We invite submissions from a wide range of disciplinary areas such as music= and creative practice, psychology, audiology, acoustics, psychoacoustics, = engineering, computer science. Topics may include (but not be limited to): * Hearing conservation and hearing protection devices * Hearing aids for music: user experiences, technological innovatio= n, application design * Cochlear implants for music: user experiences, technological inno= vation, sound coding strategies * Deep learning and signal processing for hearing devices for music * Music augmentation strategies (e.g. vibrotactile, personalised li= stening) * Audiological/hearing therapy practice * Music-based aural rehabilitation strategies * Music perception and hearing loss * Creative practice for those with hearing loss The Special Collection welcomes the full range of paper types (including em= pirical research articles, theoretical papers, position papers, discussions= , and reviews). *Please note: We are using 'hearing loss' as the term most commonly used in= scientific research papers which address the impact of different levels of= hearing on music experience. We appreciate the complexity and diversity of= terminology and philosophical perspectives on this matter, and that differ= ent terms are preferred and commonly used. Given variations in terminology = use (e.g. 'hearing impairment', 'deaf', 'hard of hearing', 'hearing differe= nce'), we ask that authors use their preferred terms, along with any releva= nt critique of terminology.
