Hearing is also possible through [[bone]] conduction, where sounds are transmitted through the [[skull]] to the auditory organs. Examples of this are while a person is underwater or when the head is brought into contact with a [[musical instrument]] (for example, a [[violin]] player hears the instrument both through the ears directly and by bone conduction through the [[jaw]] to the skull.)
