Music and speech share deep cognitive and auditory roots. Meludia on myMED-EL, a music training especially curated for cochlear implant (CI) users, taps into this connection to support hearing performance.
Meludia’s exercises can directly translate to better speech comprehension.
- Rhythm & syllables: Counting beats in music helps recognise syllables in speech, improving fluency and segmentation.
- Melody & intonation: Identifying rising or falling melodies helps detect speech prosody, important for understanding tone, questions and emotions.
- Pitch & phonemes: Pitch discrimination enhances the ability to distinguish similar-sounding words (e.g. bat/pat).
- Noise filtering & speech understanding in noise: Exercises involving chords and layered sounds improve the ability to focus on speech in noisy environments.
Meludia’s free exercises offer a fun, engaging way to build critical listening skills.
