Bone Conduction bypasses the eardrums. In bone conduction listening, the bone conduction devices (such as headphones) perform the role of your eardrums. These devices decode sound waves and convert them into vibrations that can be received directly by the Cochlea so the eardrum is never involved.

Where does bone conduction occur?
Bone conduction is the conduction of sound to the inner ear primarily through the bones of the skull, allowing the hearer to perceive audio content without blocking the ear canal.
How do AfterShokz work?
THE POWER
Unlike traditional headphones that use speakers to transmit sound, AfterShokz uses patented bone conduction technology. Transducers send mini vibrations through the cheekbones and deliver sound directly to the inner ear, bypassing the eardrum.
What is bone conduction technology?
A bone conduction hearing device is an alternative to a regular hearing aid for those with problems in their outer or middle ears. It transfers sound by bone vibration directly to the cochlea, bypassing the outer and the middle ear. This means it is useful for conductive and mixed hearing losses.
Can deaf hear through bone conduction?
Bone Conduction Hearing Aids Allow Deaf People To Hear
But unlike with some other types of hearing loss, people with conductive hearing loss can still hear via bone conduction, and many wear a bone conduction hearing aid.
Which is better air or bone conduction?
Abnormal: Bone conduction is better than air conduction. The patient cannot hear sound conducted through the air after the fork is moved from the mastoid process. This suggests conductive hearing loss and is referred to as a "negative test."
What is the difference between bone conduction and air conduction?
Air conduction hearing occurs through air near the ear, and it involves the ear canal and eardrum. Bone conduction hearing occurs through vibrations picked up by the ear's specialized nervous system. ... Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound waves are unable to pass through the middle ear to the inner ear.
Can I wear my AfterShokz in the shower?
Hi there - AfterShokz here. Though Trekz Titanium are IP55 rated to repel sweat and moisture, they can't be worn swimming or in the shower.
Are AfterShokz any good?
In this AfterShokz Aeropex review we look at the latest bone conducting headphones (released in 2019) from the popular AfterShokz brand. In short, compared to the previous best model, Trekz Air, these come with: Better sound quality (with audio presets) that's slightly more bassy. Longer battery life (up to 8 hours)
Can I wear AfterShokz in the rain?
Aeropex and Xtrainerz are both waterproof and can be used in the rain, for watersports, and everything in between! ... However, Air, Titanium, and Bluez 2S are all IP-55 certified, making them water-resistant, but not waterproof.
Is bone conduction bad?
Because the bone conduction headset does not cut the user off from the environment, it is considered safer than air conduction alternatives. Additionally, there is no damage from stimulus intensity and/or the constant ear insertion ear buds and other types of insert headphones.
Can bone conduction headphones cause tinnitus?
A: Yes, bone conduction headphones, like all headsets, can cause tinnitus even though they bypass the eardrum. There are different kinds of hearing loss that affect different mechanisms of the ear, the most common of which is Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL).
Are bone conduction headphones harmful?
According to the CDC, the real danger of hearing loss comes from potential damage to the cochlea in the inner ear. Sustained exposure to loud sounds can damage the hairs and nerves in the cochlea. Because bone conduction headphones still send sound to the cochlea, they can still cause hearing loss if used improperly.
