AIR-BONE GAP

Introduction: Defining the Air-Bone Gap The Air-Bone Gap (ABG) is a foundational diagnostic metric utilized in clinical audiology and otology, providing essential insight into the mechanical integrity of the auditory system. Fundamentally, the ABG represents the quantifiable contrast between auditory thresholds measured via air conduction (AC) and those measured via bone conduction (BC) at specific […]
