Air and bone conduction thresholds are used to differentiate between conductive and sensori-neural hearing losses because bone conduction is thought to bypass the conductive apparatus, directly activating the inner ear. However, the suggested bone conduction mechanisms involve the outer and middle ears. Also, normal bone conduction thresholds have been reported in cases of lesions to the conduction pathway. Therefore, further investigation of bone conduction mechanisms is required.
气导和骨导阈值用于区分传导性听力损失和感音神经性听力损失，因为骨导被认为绕过了传导装置，直接激活内耳。然而，所提出的骨导机制涉及外耳和中耳。此外，已有报道传导通路受损的病例骨导阈值正常。因此，需要对骨导机制进行进一步研究。
