The purpose of this study was to investigate the music perception, learning experiences, and preferences of adults with hard-of-hearing and to examine how these factors vary depending on the type of rehabilitative assistive devices they use. A total of 107 adults with hard-of-hearing participated in a questionnaire consisting of 25 items related to music perception, learning experiences, and preferences with desires for learning music. The participants demonstrated a relatively high ability to perceive and identify music sounds, although they experienced difficulties in fully appreciating music while using rehabilitative assistive devices. Despite these challenges, participants expressed a strong desire to engage in music learning, with a particular interest in elements that foster enjoyment, rhythm, and tactile-based learning. Significant differences were observed between groups wearing different types of rehabilitative assistive devices and those not wearing devices, particularly in terms of the recognition of emotional content in songs (P = .003), music preference (P = .019), and perception level of music sounds (P = .000). In addition, significant differences were found in the consideration of self-learning function (P < .05) and listening to songs function (P < .05) when developing music-learning devices based on the use of rehabilitative assistive devices. Based on these research findings, priorities for the development of music-learning devices for adults with hard-of-hearing and relevant technological considerations have been proposed.
本研究的目的是调查听力受损成年人的音乐感知、学习经历和偏好，并研究这些因素如何因他们使用的康复辅助设备类型而异。共有107名听力受损成年人参与了一项问卷调查，问卷包含25个与音乐感知、学习经历、偏好以及学习音乐的愿望相关的问题。参与者表现出相对较高的音乐声音感知和识别能力，尽管他们在使用康复辅助设备时难以充分欣赏音乐。尽管存在这些挑战，参与者仍表达了强烈的学习音乐的愿望，尤其对能带来愉悦、节奏以及基于触觉的学习元素感兴趣。在佩戴不同类型康复辅助设备的组与未佩戴设备的组之间观察到了显著差异，特别是在对歌曲情感内容的识别（P = 0.003）、音乐偏好（P = 0.019）以及音乐声音感知水平（P = 0.000）方面。此外，在基于康复辅助设备的使用来开发音乐学习设备时，发现自我学习功能（P < 0.05）和听歌功能（P < 0.05）的考量存在显著差异。基于这些研究结果，提出了为听力受损成年人开发音乐学习设备的优先事项及相关技术考量。
