'air conduction' is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to refer to the mechanism by which sound waves travel through air to the inner ear, e.g. "The human ear is capable of hearing sound through air conduction."
Although air conduction is more commonly used in industry, bone conducted radio communication offers an attractive means for infantry to communicate on the battlefield.
In sensorineural hearing loss, the thresholds for both air conduction and bone conduction are affected such that the air-bone gap (air conduction minus bone conduction) is close to zero.
The results showed that in the environments tested, air conduction performed better than bone conduction.
Generally, there are two means by which radio communication can be transmitted: air conduction and bone conduction.
Previous research studies have suggested the possibility of gender differences in auditory processing for air conduction (AC) hearing.
There was a significant correlation between signs of hydrops and the mean air conduction threshold at 500 Hz.
None of the study group patients demonstrated postoperative worsening of the bone conduction threshold.> -wrap-foot> AC-air conduction, BC-bone conduction, ABG-air-bone gap.
Pure-tone air-conduction audiometry was conducted in a separate quiet room by trained technicians with an audiometer (AA-56, RION Inc., Tokyo, Japan); subjects who used hearing aids were asked to remove them for the tests.
Poor air-conduction threshold is the primary indication of conductive hearing loss, since abnormalities of the conduction mechanism have relatively little effect on bone-conduction measurements.
One method of differentiating between conductive hearing loss and sensorineural hearing loss is to compare air-conduction and bone-conduction hearing threshold levels.
In air-conduction testing, a pure tone is presented via an earphone (or a loudspeaker).
