bone conduction

Bone conduction is a way our ears can hear sounds through vibrations in the bones of the skull instead of through the air. When a sound causes vibrations, these vibrations travel through the bones directly to the inner ear, bypassing the outer and middle ear. This method allows us to perceive sound even if there’s a blockage or damage in the outer or middle ear. Devices like certain hearing aids and headphones use bone conduction technology to transmit sound directly to the inner ear, offering an alternative hearing method for people with specific hearing challenges.
