People all know that testing our ears spends 2 periods:
1. Test Air Conduction.
2. Test Bone Conduction.

But, why in fitting HAs, audiologist doesn't enter Bone conduction line to fitting software?
If audiologist enter BC line, what will happen with our HAs?

Is anyone similar to me?
Thanks for reading!
 
The audiologist doesn't input the bone contuction results because they aren't relevant to the amplification. The sound you get from a hearing aid is air conducted, not bone conducted (unless you have a bone conduction aid or a BAHA) so there is not reason to program the aids to the BC results.
