It has been long considered that air and bone are the two major mediators that conduct
sounds to the inner ear. In 2004, Hosoi found that vibration of aural cartilage, generated by …

Cartilage conduction (CC) is a form of conduction that allows a relatively loud sound to be
audible when a transducer is placed on the aural cartilage. The CC transmission …

Objective: To assess the benefits of a new type of hearing aid using cartilage conduction
(CC) in patients with severe conduction hearing loss and evaluate its potential for practical …

Cartilage conduction (CC) is a new form of sound transmission which is induced by a
transducer being placed on the aural cartilage. Although the conventional forms of sound …

Objectives/Hypothesis The aim of this study was to establish the sound transmission
characteristics of cartilage conduction proposed by Hosoi (2004), which is available by a …

Sound information is known to travel to the cochlea via either air or bone conduction.
However, a vibration signal, delivered to the aural cartilage via a transducer, can also …

Purpose Cartilage conduction hearing aids (CC-HAs) are novel hearing aids using the third
hearing pathway of cartilage conduction. We assessed the efficacy of CC-HAs in adult …

Because cartilage conduction—the transmission of sound via the aural cartilage—has
different auditory pathways from well-known air and bone conduction, how the output …

Objectives Cartilage conduction hearing aids (CC-HAs) are novel hearing aids that use the
third hearing pathway of cartilage conduction. We assessed the efficacy of CC-HAs and the …

Hearing improvement represents one of the may valuable outcomes in microtia and aural
atresia reconstruction surgery. Most patients with poor development in their hearing function …
