Definition
English
:
Transmission of sound waves through
vibration
of bones in the SKULL to the inner ear (
COCHLEA
). By using
bone conduction
stimulation and by bypassing any OUTER EAR or MIDDLE EAR abnormalities,
hearing
thresholds of the
cochlea
can be determined.
Bone conduction
hearing
differs from normal
hearing
which is based on air
conduction
stimulation via the
EAR CANAL
and the
TYMPANIC MEMBRANE.
