Those are skills that can be improved and can be applicable beyond the narrow realm of music. We got my hearing impaired son into piano lessons a little over a year ago. He has become a better listener, able to pick up which key is played, etc. He has become a better, more global listener. He can't hear any better but he can pay better attention.
