The position of a bone conduction (BC) transducer influences the perception of BC sound,
but the relation between the stimulation position and BC sound perception is not entirely …

Background The frequency dependent contributions of the various bone conduction
pathways are poorly understood, especially the fluid pathway. The aim of this work is to …

A lumped element impedance model of the inner ear with sources based on wave
propagation in the skull bone was used to investigate the mechanisms of hearing sensitivity …

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 …

There have been conflicting reports in the literature about the importance of the induced ear
canal sound pressure for the perception of bone-conducted (BC) sound. Here we …

Soft tissue conduction has been proposed as an alternative to bone conduction (BC) for
hearing vibrations applied at soft tissue positions at the human head. Arguments for soft …

Background Bone conduction (BC) is an alternative to air conduction to stimulate the inner
ear. In general, the stimulation for BC occurs on a specific location directly on the skull bone …

Objectives Investigation of bone conduction sound propagation by osseous and non-
osseous pathways and their interactions based upon the stimulation site and coupling …

Bone conduction (BC) is heavily relied upon in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss,
but is poorly understood. For example, the relative importance and frequency dependence …

The study evaluates the accuracy of predicting intracochlear pressure during bone
conduction stimulation using promontory velocity and ear canal pressure, as less invasive …
