If a hearing threshold were at 50 dB HL by air conduction and 5 dB HL by bone conduction what type of hearing loss exists?

Conductive, assuming the scores represent the same ear. The bone conduction is within normal limits while the air conduction score represents a mild to moderate loss.

Is normal hearing conducted by air or bone?
Ultrasound can be perceived through bone conduction by the profoundly deaf as well as by normal-hearing subjects. Moreover, speech signals modulated onto ultrasound can be detected through bone conduction. This study explored how well listeners can understand ultrasonic speech and the confusion patterns to evaluate and improve bone-conducted ultrasonic hearing. The intelligibility of Japanese words classified by familiarity and Japanese monosyllables with bone-conducted ultrasound was investigated. Results showed that the intelligibility of familiar words was higher than that of unfamiliar words. Further, the results of a monosyllable intelligibility test with bone-conducted ultrasound and those of a test with air-conducted sound showed a similar pattern of speech recognition with regard to the errors made. The relationship between speech intelligibility and sound level showed that the increase in the intelligibility of bone-conducted ultrasonic speech did not exceed the increase in the intelligibility of air-conducted speech as the sound level rose.
What are changes in bone thickness vision and hearing called?
it is called physical development
What part do the bone in the middle ear play in the process of us hearing sound?
The "bone you are referring to is your hearing chain, so yes it affects your hearing. I know this because my daughter growing up had what is referred to as a cholesteatoma. A mass of skin that takes up residence behind the eardrum, that although is not cancerous acts like it is. It crawls and weaves around the hearing bone, It destroyed her ear drum and her hearing chain (bone). She now has a plastic (artificial) hearing bone but still only has 10% of her hearing in that ear. the only way to explain it is this... If you have a cup of water with a straw in it 6 inches from your mouth can the liquid get to your mouth? Same thing, the noise goes into your ear but stops where the straw ends thus filtering the sound. Any child that has more ear infections than what seams normal should be checked really well for this. My daughter had her first set of tubes when she was 14 months old. The cholesteatoma was missed by an ent when she was 10 even though here ear was bleading and oozing green stuff.
What is located under the hardest bone in the body these control not only hearing but also a sense of gravity and motion?
The vestibular body or matrix
What is a weird named bone in your body?
I will have to say that the most unusual bone in the human body is the hyoid bone in your neck behind the voicebox or larynx. This bone helps keep the breathing tube down your neck nice and open. When a person is strangled by hand, the hyoid is often broken, which lets the breathing tube collapse. First, nearly no normal person even knows it exists. Second, it is a bone that does not touch any other bones. And third, oddly enough, it is a bone that you can touch, an probably do (through the skin, of course) every once in a while, and do not realize it.
What is the difference conductive deafness and sensorineural deafness?
Conductive Loss - Normal hearing for bone conduction scores ([ & ]), and showing a hearing loss for Air Conduction scores (X &O) Sensorineural Loss- Hearing loss (equally) for both air and bone conduction
Does bone conduction cause hearing loss?
not they i have ever heard of. i guess it depends where it is
What is the cpt code for pure tone audimentry conduction bone only?
There is no specific CPT code for "Pure tone audiometry (threshold); bone only". You can use the code 92553 (Pure tone audiometry (threshold); air and bone) with modifier 52.
What is Rinne test?
a hearing test comparing perception of air and bone conduction in one ear with a tuning fork, normally air conduction is more acute
What has the author E H Huizing written?
E. H Huizing has written: 'Bone conduction' -- subject(s): Ear, Hearing
Which one bone or air conducts sound more loudly?
Air conduction is more efficient than bone conduction, although conduction through bone may be "heard" more loudly because it is a direct conduction into the middle ear and there is a component of "feeling" the sound with bone conduction.
How can hearing be tested?
Hearing can be tested by a tests called audiometric tests, in which the patient is subjected to sounds of varying frequency and intensity and the amount of intensity that has to be raised above the normal level for that particular frequency is plotted on a chart.By this test, the threshold of hearing by air and bone conduction can be known and also type and degree of hearing loss can be assessed. There are various other clinical tests for hearing like finger friction test, watch test, voice test (these are obsolete now) and tuning fork tests- Weber's and Rinne's test.
Sound heard in one ear but not in the other during bone and air conduction?
conduction deafness
What happens if your bone in your ear is bent back to the other bone?
If the bones of the middle ear are damaged in any way, then a loss of hearing, called conduction deafness, occurs. Any type of damage will destroy the ossicles ability to amplify and transmit sound vibrations.
How Hearing Aids Work Through Bone Conduction ?
Bone-anchored hearing aids are made to work on what is known as bone conduction, which transmits sound from the person's inner ear through the skull bones. This kind of hearing aid is often used by people who have experienced types of hearing loss that does not allow them to hear using the more common forms of hearing aids. Hearing loss that is known as conductive occurs when people have problems processing sound waves along the ear canal. It is one type of hearing loss for which bone conduction is an option for hearing devices. Bone-anchored hearing aids are also helpful for people who have suffered unilateral hearing loss, or hearing loss in one ear. The bone-anchored hearing aid involves surgical implantation of a device into the patient's skull, with a small post visible on the outside of the skin. A sound processing device is placed on this post, which allows for sound to travel through the bones of the skull and vibrate the patient's inner ear. Once the inner ear is vibrating, hearing can take place. The hearing aid is known as 'bone-anchored' because the surrounding bone grows around the implant without a soft tissue layer in a process known as osseointegration. Osseointegration can take several months to complete, but once it has, the bone-anchored hearing aid can be used. The surgery to perform the implantation process has typically been risky. Advancements in the surgery have been made, however, allowing for smaller incisions and less invasive procedures. Currently many patients are able to complete their surgery in a few hours under local anesthesia. For children or infants who need the procedure, physicians will usually perform it in two stages, one in which they drill the holes into the skull behind the ear, then allow the skull to grow and for osseointegration to occur, and perform a second surgery in which the implant is made. The aftermath for the patient in receiving a bone-anchored hearing aid has been the constant risk of infection. Patients with bone-anchored hearing aids must be sure to keep the skin around their implant clean, and to apply antibacterial ointment every day. Unfortunately, many of the bone-anchored hearing aid sound devices are fragile, and anyone who has one should be careful not to break or damage it. In the event that this happens, however, the companies that manufacture them have a warranty and replacement policy. The patient's audiologist may have devices that can be loaned until the repair or replacement is complete.
