Our purpose was to investigate the influence of acoustic radiation produced by bone vibrators at 4000 Hz on bone conduction (BC) testing. In one study, BC thresholds were obtained with a Radioear B-70A, B-71, and 8–72 vibrator when the subject's ear canal was unoccluded and occluded. In another study, probe-tube microphone measurements were made just inside the entrance to the ear canal for each vibrator and for an air conduction source at comparable sensation levels. Results of both studies were interpreted to indicate that the B-70A and B-71 produced minimal acoustic radiation. However, the B-72 was found to have excessive acoustic radiation which would be sufficient to influence BC thresholds and produce an invalid high-frequency air-bone gap.
