I just did a music test with & without my cochlear, using Postmodern Jukebox. ;) Here's the reference song and timestamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI1cGPfL-Bw&t=130s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI1cGPfL-Bw&t=130s Without my implant I can barely hear anything the drummer does for the next 10 seconds, so it must be > 1500 Hz, which is the upper limit of my "good" ear. With my cochlear alone (i.e., plugging my "good" left ear) I can hear all the frequencies, but the song sounds "tinny" and lacks clarity. With both ears I'm not consciously missing much in terms of clarity if I had normal hearing, so the brain does a very good job at creating almost normal sound from my two very imperfect ears. However, please note that outcomes for cochlear implant recipients vary. I've been told that my result is unusually good given that I scored 90%+ on standard audiology speech tests post-implant.
