Abstract: Permanent hearing loss (PHL) can influence a child's overall quality of life by affecting different developmental aspects including communication skills, academic skills, social functioning as well as involvement in various activities, such as participation in musical activities. Evidence shows that music can contribute positively to child development; however, less is known about the positive effects of music engagement in children with PHL. The goal of this study was to explore music engagement in a Canadian population of children with various degrees of PHL. An online questionnaire on family musical experiences was distributed to caregivers of children who receive services from the audiology clinics at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Fifty-seven caregivers responded to the survey; the majority (more than 60%) reported that their child was exposed to music every day. There was no significant difference in music exposure between children with unilateral hearing loss and bilateral hearing loss. Many caregivers reported positive effects of music on their child's mood and learning. Results of this study suggest the need for additional research to better understand the role of music in children with hearing loss in this population, as well as the role of musical interventions.
