Why 8kilohertz bone conduction is not checked in pure tone audiometry?
Wiki User

8Khz may need an intensity higher for people to perceive it during air conduction especially in adults, during bone conduction, an increase in intensity may provoke a tactile response and not the response from audibility.

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
Type of connective tissue that is classified as compact or spongy?
Bone tissue can be either spongey or compact. Compact bone is found on the walls of the shaft of bones while Spongey bone is found at the ends of the bone where joints are made.
What tissue has a matrix that contains collagen and mineral salts?
Bone is not connective tissue. Instead, connective tissue -- ligaments and tendons -- connect to the bone.
Ligaments and tendons are connective tissue that work with bones What job does each perform?
Ligaments connect bone to bone. Tendons attach muscle to bone.
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.
Why bone conduction is better than air conduction in pure tone audiometry?
Because bone is a denser medium, sound travels faster and stronger through it than through air. Bone conduction never gives the body time to process sound properly because the sound never hits the middle ear process where it can be filtered and buffered. Instead, the signal goes into the bone, often around the mastoid bone or the skull area, and then travels directly to the nervous system and the brain without ever being filtered or buffered.
What is the cpt code for pure-tone audiometry air and bone?
92553
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.
Sound heard in one ear but not in the other during bone and air conduction?
conduction deafness
How can I get my bone density score checked?
If you want to get your bone density score checked out you should go see specialist. Have your doctor refer you to a bone specialist to do a bone density test on you.

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.

Do sound waves travel down the auditory canal by bone conduction?
Yes
Does bone conduction cause hearing loss?
not they i have ever heard of. i guess it depends where it is
