Music is an important part of life for many people. It can evoke a wide range of emotions, including sadness, happiness, anger, tension, relief and excitement. People with hearing loss and people with cochlear implants have reduced abilities to discriminate some of the features of musical sounds that may be involved in evoking emotions. This paper reviews these changes in perceptual abilities and describes how they affect the perception of emotion in music. For people with acquired partial hearing loss, it appears that the perception of emotion in music is almost normal, whereas congenital partial hearing loss is associated with impaired perception of music emotion. For people with cochlear implants, the ability to discriminate changes in fundamental frequency (associated with perceived pitch) is much worse than normal and musical harmony is hardly perceived. As a result, people with cochlear implants appear to judge emotion in music primarily using tempo and rhythm cues, and this limits the range of emotions that can be judged. This article is part of the theme issue 'Sensing and feeling: an integrative approach to sensory processing and emotional experience'.
音乐对于许多人来说是生活中不可或缺的一部分。它可以唤起广泛的情感，包括悲伤、快乐、愤怒、紧张、放松和兴奋。听力损失者和植入人工耳蜗的人辨别音乐声音特征的能力降低，这些特征可能与情感唤起有关。本文综述了这些感知能力的变化，并描述了它们如何影响音乐情感的感知。对于后天听力部分损失的人来说，他们对音乐情感的感知几乎是正常的，而先天性听力部分损失则与音乐情感感知受损有关。对于植入人工耳蜗的人来说，他们辨别基频（与感知音高相关）变化的能力远逊于正常人，几乎无法感知音乐和声。因此，植入人工耳蜗的人似乎主要使用节奏和韵律线索来判断音乐中的情感，这限制了他们可以判断的情感范围。本文是主题为“感知和感受：感官处理和情感体验的综合方法”的一部分。
