Pathways of soundPathways of sound
Air conduction (AC): Transmission through Air conduction (AC): Transmission through outer, middle, inner ear, and higher up.outer, middle, inner ear, and higher up.
Bone conduction (BC): Transmission that Bone conduction (BC): Transmission that stimulates the inner ear directly through stimulates the inner ear directly through mechanical vibration of the skull.mechanical vibration of the skull.
