    This study investigated how coupling force impacts bone conduction hearing tests. Optimal coupling force is crucial for accurate bone conduction threshold measurements.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Bioengineering
    • Hearing Science

    Background:

    • Bone conduction threshold determination is vital for diagnosing hearing loss.
    • Variability in measurement can affect diagnostic accuracy.
    • The influence of physical parameters like coupling force requires systematic investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the effect of varying coupling forces on bone conduction threshold measurements.
    • To determine the optimal coupling force range for reliable bone conduction testing.
    • To assess the impact of coupling force on test-retest variability.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a systematic range of coupling forces (250-750 grams) with mechanical devices.
    • Employed a Brüel & Kjaer mechanical impedance head (type 8000) with a mini-shaker for testing.

  • Analyzed test-retest variability and hearing level variations under different coupling forces.

    • Main Results:

    • Bone conduction thresholds showed significant variation with changes in coupling force.
    • Increased coupling force generally led to more stable threshold measurements.
    • Specific coupling force ranges were identified as optimal for minimizing variability.

    Conclusions:

    • Coupling force is a critical factor influencing bone conduction threshold accuracy.
    • Adherence to specific coupling force protocols is recommended for consistent audiological assessments.
    • Further research may refine optimal force parameters for diverse populations.
