Accuracy and precision of direct bone conduction measurements.

CONCLUSIONS: Direct bone conduction measurement provides a validated method of comparing the transcutaneous thresholds as measured through audiometry with the percutaneous responses from the Baha sound processor. The Baha fitting based on direct measurements of bone conduction may require less fine-tuning and provide a greater understanding of the variability of the bone conduction sound pathway.
