Objective: The fact that vibration of the skull causes a hearing sensation has been known
since the 19th century. This mode of hearing was termed hearing by bone conduction …

Bone conduction (BC) is the way sound energy is transmitted by the skull bones to the
cochlea causing a sound perception. Even if the BC sound transmission involves several …

It is generally accepted that bone conduction (BC) stimuli yield a traveling wave on the
basilar membrane (BM) and hence stimulate the cochlea by the same mechanisms as …

Five different pathways are often suggested as important for bone conducted (BC) sound:(1)
sound pressure in the ear canal,(2) inertia of the middle ear ossicles,(3) inertia of the inner …

Humans hear through air and bone conduction pathways. Both pathways can be used to
transmit sound to a listener and from a talker although traditionally, the air conduction …

Air conduction (AC) versus bone conduction (BC) loudness balance testing was conducted
at frequencies of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, and 4 kHz for two groups: 23 normal hearing subjects …

Bone conduction hearing inevitably involves vibration of the basilar membrane in response
to a pressure gradient on either side of the membrane. The propagated wave that …

Hearing threshold data with bone conduction and air conduction stimulation are combined
with physiological and mechanical measurements of the middle ear ossicles vibration to …

Cancellation experiments between air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC) tones
were conducted at two frequencies (0.7 and 1.1 kHz) and three levels (40, 50, and 60dB HL) …

To clarify the contribution of the skull contents to the transmission of bone vibratory stimuli,
and to examine the characteristics of such stimuli, we compared auditory thresholds and …
