  2. Weber test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber_test

    The Weber test is administered by holding a vibrating tuning fork on top of the patient's head. The Weber test is a screening test for hearing performed with a tuning fork. [1] [2] It can detect unilateral (one-sided) conductive hearing loss (middle ear hearing loss) and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (inner ear hearing loss). [3]

  3. Conductive hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductive_hearing_loss

    For basic screening, a conductive hearing loss can be identified using the Rinne test with a 256 Hz tuning fork. The Rinne test, in which a patient is asked to say whether a vibrating tuning fork is heard more loudly adjacent to the ear canal (air conduction) or touching the bone behind the ear (bone conduction), is negative indicating that ...

  4. Rinne test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinne_test

    This test and its complement, the Weber test, are quick screening tests and are not a replacement for formal audiometry. Recently, its value as a screening test has been questioned. [6] The Rinne test is not reliable in distinguishing sensorineural and conductive loss cases of severe unilateral or total sensorineural loss.

  5. Sensorineural hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensorineural_hearing_loss

    Weber test, in which a tuning fork is touched to the midline of the forehead, localizes to the normal ear in people with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Rinne test, which tests air conduction vs. bone conduction is positive, because both bone and air conduction are reduced equally. less common Bing and Schwabach variants of the Rinne test.

  6. Cranial nerve examination - Wikipedia

    The Weber test also uses a tuning fork to differentiate between conductive versus sensorineural hearing loss. In this test, the tuning fork is placed at the top of the skull, and the sound of the tuning fork reaches both inner ears by travelling through bone. In a healthy patient, the sound would appear equally loud in both ears.

    An active search is underway for a 66-year-old Michigan woman who disappeared from a popular tourist hot spot during a trip to the Grand Canyon more than a week ago, officials said.

  8. Diagnosis of hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_hearing_loss

    Other method for quantifying hearing loss is a hearing test using a mobile application or hearing aid application, which includes a hearing test. [1] [2] Hearing diagnosis using mobile application is similar to the audiometry procedure. As a result of hearing test, hearing thresholds at different frequencies are determined.

  9. Vestibulocochlear nerve - Wikipedia

    Rinne's test involves Rinne's Right and Left Test, since auditory acuity is equal in both ears. If bone conduction (BC) is more than air conduction (AC) (BC>AC) indicates Rinne Test is negative or abnormal. If AC>BC Rinne test is normal or positive. If BC>AC and Weber's test lateralizes to abnormal side then it is Conductive hearing loss.
