“…According to previous reports, the maximum audible frequency for the human ear is approximately 24 kHz via air conduction (Wegel, 1932), and the frequency range above this is regarded as the ultrasonic range. However, when ultrasound at a frequency of lower than 120 kHz is delivered via bone conduction, it can create an auditory sensation (Gavreau, 1948;Pumphrey, 1950;Dieroff and Ertel, 1975). This phenomenon has been reported for half a century, and has been the focus of numerous reports (Gavreau, 1948;Pumphrey, 1950;Haeff and Knox, 1963;Dieroff and Ertel, 1975).…”
