Abstract
Cochlear implant users face di culties in perceiving music. In this paper we
try to improve music perception for cochlear implant users. Previous work
has shown that cochlear implant users rely during music perception mainly
on rhythm and vocal perception. Using the Wave-U-Net model we will
remix songs in order to amplify audible features for CI-users. We evaluated
the e ect of the ampli cation of the features by comparing the original
and modi ed music excerpt through a CI-simulator. We could not nd
a signi cant preference for remixed songs compared to unmodi ed songs.
In a second experiment, we evaluated the participant's individual mixing
preferences. Participants could remix between three parameters: drums,
vocals and other. We did not nd nd any signi cant preference for one
category over another.
