air-bone gap


air-bone gap

the difference between the thresholds for hearing when the stimuli are delivered by air conduction and by bone conduction.

air-bone gap

(âr′bōn′)n. The difference between the threshold for hearing acuity by bone conduction and by air conduction.

air-bone gap

(ABG) (ār-bōn gap) An abnormal condition in which the auditory threshold for an air-conducted test tone is higher than that for a bone-conducted test tone of the same frequency.
