A previously essentially unknown type of distortion of bone conduction (BC) signal has been studied on the skulls of four human cadavers. The method was based on a miniature accelerometer, rigidly attached to the cranial bone, converting the skull vibration close to the cochlea into an electrical signal which was analysed with regard to harmonic distortion. The BC signals, pure tones, were presented by means of a high-quality vibrator. The distortion was found to be limited to the lower audiometric frequencies, with a maximum around 500 Hz, and of such a degree as to be able to significantly influence the results of BC audiometry. The distortion is probably caused by nonlinear mechanical properties of the human skull.
