Reliability of bone-conducted electrocochleography. A clinical study.
The correlation between pure-tone bone conduction thresholds (BC) and thresholds obtained by electrocochleography with bone conducted stimulation (BC-ECoG) for 1, 2, 4 and 8 kHz was studied in 26 ears due for ear surgery. The correlations proved to be statistically highly significant and the results lend support to the conclusion that BC-ECoG can be considered to be well adapted for clinical use in cases where conventional audiometry has failed to reveal the capacity of the cochlea.
