Baha ( derived from bone anchored hearing aid ) is a bone conduction system involving a small titanium implant that is Swedish biotechnology group Entific Medical Systems before that company was acquired by Cochlear in 2005.

The tactile transducers are attached the drummer's stool ( " throne " ) and the vibrations of the driver are transmitted to the body then to the ear in a manner similar to bone conduction.
43.
After the fork starts vibrating placing it in the mouth with the stem between the back teeth ensures that one continues to hear the note via bone conduction, and both hands are free to do the tuning.
44.
The most common type of audiogram is the result of a pure tone audiometry hearing test which plots frequency versus amplitude sensitivity thresholds for each ear along with bone conduction thresholds at 8 standard frequencies from 250hz to 8000hz.
45.
While other systems, like SixthSense have attempted this with computer vision, Skinput employs acoustics, which take advantage of the human body's natural sound conductive properties ( e . g ., bone conduction ).
46.
So if you can't hear the tuning fork-but you can hear the bone conduction test-then your outer ear is faulty-if you can't hear either of them then your inner ear is the problem.
47.
SoundBite uses the same mechanism of action as Baha devices ( bone conduction ), however it places a transducer on the tooth & mdash; a naturally osseointegrated post & mdash; and thereby eliminates the need for a surgical implant.

The Rinne test is a hearing test conducted with a tuning fork, and is used to test and compare a patients'hearing via air conduction ( normal process ) or by way of bone conduction ( sound to the inner ear through the mastoid ).
49.
For example, if the Rinne test shows that air conduction ( AC ) is greater than bone conduction ( BC ) in both ears and the Weber test lateralizes to a particular ear, then there is sensorineural hearing loss in the opposite ( weaker ) ear.
50.
Therefore, some prefer to avoid using the term'positive'or'negative', and simply state if the test was normal or abnormal e . g .'Rinnes test was abnormal in the right ear, with bone conduction greater than air conduction '.
