Bone conduction activation through soft tissues following complete immobilization of the ossicular chain, stapes footplate and round window

► Immobilization of ossicular chain, stapes footplate & round window. ► Only 3.5 dB elevation of bone conduction (BC) threshold. ► Bone vibrator to saline pool. ► Thresholds to saline pool & to BC similar. ► ABR to bone vibrator on eye.
