To be clear, the jawbone does not * use * bone induction.  Not even close.  
There is a small censor that rests on your cheek / jawbone that is a noise 
gate.  When you speak one of the first things that happens before sound leaves 
your mouth is your jaw starts to move.  That movement triggers the censor which 
opens the noise gate and allows your voice in.  If you’re not speaking the 
noise gate is closed and sound isn’t picked up.  They use this a lot in 
military headsets for example helicopters and tanks.

Thanks
