From challenges in hearing to artistic rebirth through technology; An analysis from the perspective of a pianist with a cochlear implant

Abstract

This study aims to explore the way in which medicine and technology can transform sensory challenges into a new form of expression. As a professional pianist with a cochlear implant, this experience has offered me the possibility to listen through memory, vibration, and emotion, thus discovering a new path to music. A selection of studies and articles highlights the continuous effort of medicine and technology to support not only auditory rehabilitation in speech, but also the reclamation of one’s professional identity in the case of professional musicians affected by severe hearing loss
