Describe the difference between air conduction audiometry and bone conduction audiometry

What will be an ideal response?


Air conduction testing is the first test to assess the patient's hearing. It involves the use of earphones and patients are instructed to raise their hand when they think they hear a sound. The results of this testing can determine the presence or absence of problems within the auditory system. Bone conduction testing uses a pure tone to directly assess the sensitivity of the inner ear by bypassing the outer and middle ear through placement of a bone vibrator on the patient's forehead or mastoid bone. The placement on the skull helps transmit the sound signal directly to the cochlea.
