When I say "better," I mean a better score. Except for the three situations that I mentioned, including only one pathology, bone scores will be the more normal scores on a complete audiogram regardless. If not better, equal to in the case of a sensorineural loss or if thresholds are normal. More energy is lost through the middle ear regardless. That's why air thresholds will be poorer than bone thresholds.

[bluedogdem1982]

Bone conduction is usually better than air conduction. You are mistaken on the video. The only exceptions to that are: if the audiometer is not calibrated, too much ambient test room noise, or Paget's disease.

[Raconteur07]

I wouldn't say that one is better than the other. Certainly, you can't get a proper diagnosis without performing both tests. A patient could have a moderate conductive hearing loss, but you would completely miss it if you only performed a bone conduction test.

@bluedogdem1982 No your wrong!

@bluedogdem1982

i think u have no basics in ent

air conduction is more than bone conduction

pls refer once

[sbytchra]

@bluedogdem1982 no,air conduction is better in a normal individual,bone conduction should not be heard after air conduction has ceased,if u have a conductive hearing loss then,bone conduction will be better.....he's right

[merryarundel]

Thankyou very much. As a paediatric trainee obviously not all relevant, but very good nonetheless.
