< Geri Git After completing my undergraduate education in Audiology at Istanbul Aydin University, I completed my master's degree in Audiology and Speech Pathology at Marmara University. I graduated from the Neuroscience PhD program at Koç University, where I was accepted with a full scholarship; during my doctoral education, I worked as a visiting researcher at the University of Arizona in the United States for one year. In my research, I focus on the effects of hearing loss and tinnitus on cognitive functions and emotional processes. I examine the neurobiological basis of changes in the auditory system by integrating electrophysiological, behavioral and molecular methods.

Music-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire About the Questionnaire The Music-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire is a self-administered tool developed in 2017 to assess subjective music perception, musical engagement, and the potential impact of music on quality of life in adult cochlear implant users with the potential to guide and support music rehabilitation. The adaptation of the questionnaire to Turkish and its validity and reliability study were conducted in 2021 by Akbulut et al. The questionnaire consists of two parts, one assessing musical experiences, and the other assessing the importance of these experiences. The entire survey contains 36 items, 18 in each section. The first part of the questionnaire is divided into two subscales. The ‘Music Perception’ subscale includes 11 items that assess an individual’s music listening abilities, and the ‘Music Activities’ subscale includes 7 items that assess an individual’s attitudes toward music and musical activities, for a total of 18 items. The second part of the questionnaire is also divided into two subscales. The ‘Music Perception’ subscale includes 11 items that assess the importance of music listening abilities in the first part of the questionnaire, and the ‘Music Activities’ subscale includes 7 items that assess the importance of attitudes toward music and musical activities, for a total of 18 items. All items in both sections are measured using a five-point Likert scale. In addition to the five-point Likert scale, there is an item ‘Not Appropriate’. In order to assess the impact of music on quality of life and to identify personalized rehabilitation needs, the responses given in the two parts of the questionnaire are matched on a matrix.

TR-MUSHRA About TR-MUSHRA MUSHRA (Multiple Stimulus with Hidden Reference and Anchor) is an audio engineering software developed in 2005 to evaluate the difference in quality between a number of audio sources and is widely used in the audio industry. CI-MUSHRA was adapted from the MUSHRA program, which is widely used in the audio industry. The CI-MUSHRA test has been defined as a reliable, useful, objective and adaptable measurement tool that can be used to evaluate sound quality perception in individuals with normal hearing and cochlear implant users. TR-MUSHRA, prepared in 2019, is a version of the MUSHRA application adapted for cochlear implant users whose native language is Turkish. TR-MUSHRA has a user interface and instructions designed in Turkish, strictly adhering to the MUSHRA model. The TR-MUSHRA (Multiple Stimulus with Hidden Reference and Anchor for Turkish People) test is designed to provide a more quantitative assessment by limiting the effect of subjectivity found in existing assessment methods. The software can investigate the effect of any acoustic parameter that plays a role in the perception of sound quality. As seen in the image below, in TR-MUSHRA, participants listen to different sound samples and give a score for each of them on a number scale between 0 and 100, while comparing them with the original signal according to their sound quality levels.

Use of the Music-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire The process of adapting the Cochlear Implant Quality of Life Assessment Tools (CIYaKa) to Turkish has been completed and the scientific study on validity and reliability analyses is still ongoing. The Turkish versions of the assessment tools will be made available after the completion of this process and the sharing of the results in a scientific publication.
