On an audiogram, which symbol denotes right-sided air conduction?

Explanation:
Right-sided air conduction is denoted by the symbol O. In pure-tone audiometry plots, this convention uses O for the right ear and X for the left ear when showing air-conduction thresholds, so you can quickly tell which ear’s thresholds are being read. The other symbols shown represent left air conduction (X) or bone conduction (brackets), which is why they don’t indicate right-sided air conduction.
