DIFFICULTIES IN BONE CONDUCTION TESTING Four major reasons contribute current mistrust of measurements. In first place, many workers doubt reliability thresholds obtained by this method. They feel high margin error introduced such factors differences positioning vibrator pressure with applied. However, Carhart Hayes shown can good repeatability circumstances.1They compared tests 500 ears.
