Development of a clinical test of musical perception: appreciation of music in cochlear implantees (AMICI).

abstract：:Real-ear sound pressure levels (SPLs) were compared among three methods used for positioning a probe microphone in the ear canal. The probe insertion techniques included (1) an acoustic method that incorporates use of the quarter-wave anti-resonance property of the ear to determine acoustically the location of the pro...
