【Abstract] Objective Through the assessment of music perception in people with normal hearing, the feasibility of music assessment in clinical (MAC)，which is developed by our research group based on Chinese culture and music background was evaluated. Methods A total of 40 normal hearing adults(23 females and 17males, aged 18 to37 years) participated in the test of both MAC and ‘’musical sounds in cochlear implants perception”(Mu.S.I.C) software. Their pitch,melody, and timbre perception abilities were evaluated under“pitch discrimination threshold”,“melody identification",“instrument identification”sessions of MAC and“pitch discrimination”,“melody discrimination”,“instrument identification”sessions of Mu.S.I.C. In addition, the test duration was recorded, and the subjects' subjective preference scores for the two software test items were analyzed. Results ①There was no statistically significant difference in the subjective preference scores of timbre, melody and pitch test between MAC and Mu.S. L. C software (P>0.05).There was no significant difference between the test duration of MAC and Mu. S. L. C among the 40 subjects (P>0.05).②The pitch discrimination threshold of MAC for all subjects was l quarter-tone, significantly lower than the average pitch discrimination threshold (7.47±6.42 quarter-tone) of Mu. S. L C (P<0.01).③The average accuracy rate of familiar melody identification in MAC (95.63%士6.76%) was significantly higher than that of Mu.S. L. C software (84.13%±7.96%).④There was no significant difference (P>0.05) between the instrument identification performance of MAC (87.34%±10.25%) and Mu.S. L C (84.38%±12.97%).Conclusion There was no significant difference in the subjects' preferences and test duration between the two softwares. The pitch and melody recognition scores were higher using MAC when comparing with Mu.S. I C, which initially verified the clinical feasibility of MAC.
