Well...hmm, Will, I'm not so sure about that.
The reason I say that is I've had two people talking at the same =
time...and
I've been able to actively participate in both conversations...
Take care,

Yeah, they do seem to have died out a bit. I know that bone conduction =
is
used pretty widely for those with conductive (middle ear) deafness, but
beyond that, there's been very little use made of it.
I'll see if I can find out more. One thing that intrigues me, is the =
fact
that you would have the signal from the normal ear, plus that from the
conductive system, both going into the cochlear at the same time. I =
don't
know for sure, but I suspect that if you had two people talking at the =
same
time, you might get the cocktail party affect, where you subconciously
filter out all but one speaker. I'll see what I can find out on this.
