    This study found bone conduction (BC) speech tests are reliable for normal hearing. BC pure tone averages and speech thresholds mirror air conduction results, showing no significant differences.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Hearing Science
    • Speech-Language Pathology

    Background:

    • Bone conduction (BC) hearing assessment is crucial for diagnosing hearing loss.
    • Understanding BC thresholds and speech perception is vital for audiological evaluations.
    • Limited data exists on the direct comparison of BC and air conduction (AC) speech measures in normal hearing individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between BC pure tone averages, BC speech reception thresholds (SRTs), and BC speech detection thresholds.
    • To assess the short-term reliability of BC SRTs.
    • To characterize articulation functions for spondees using BC.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-five normal-hearing young adults participated in the study.
    • Measurements included BC pure tone averages, BC SRTs, and BC speech detection thresholds.

  • Articulation functions for spondees were obtained via both BC and AC.

    • Main Results:

    • The relationship between BC pure tone averages and BC SRTs was comparable to AC.
    • BC SRTs demonstrated good short-term reliability.
    • No significant practical differences were found in articulation functions between BC and AC presentations.

    Conclusions:

    • BC speech audiometry is a reliable tool for assessing hearing in normal-hearing individuals.
    • BC hearing measures correlate well with established AC audiometric findings.
    • These findings support the use of BC in comprehensive audiological assessments.
