The formula for deciding whether you should mask or not: Mask if the air-bone gap in the test ear ≥ 10 dB. How much masking is needed? To mask the non-test ear for for bone-conduction testing, add 10 dB HL to the air-conduction threshold in the non-test ear and add the occlusion effect (air conduction non-test ear + 10 dB HL + occlusion effect).

Indicators of cross-hearing and the rules for masking Rule 1: Masking is needed at any frequency where the difference between the left and right not-masked A/C thresholds is 40 dB or more when using supra- or circum-aural earphones or 55 dB or when using insert earphones Rule 2: Masking is needed at any frequency where the not-masked b-c threshold is

We mask the air conduction, and find the following: Rule 1 was carried out at all the frequencies as there was a difference of >40 dB at all the frequencies between the 2 ears. Headphones were used and the left ear was the test ear, and the right ear was the non-test ear, to be masked.

Rule three of masking aims to find the true AC thresholds when a conductive hearing loss exists in the opposite ear. As there is a conductive loss in the opposite ear rule 1 doesn't apply, but as the cross hearing pathway from the AC is to the opposite cochlea, masking is still needed.
