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. Hearing test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_test

   A hearing test provides an evaluation of the sensitivity of a person's sense of hearing and is most often performed by an audiologist using an audiometer. An audiometer is used to determine a person's hearing sensitivity at different frequencies. There are other hearing tests as well, e.g., Weber test and Rinne test.

   Key Takeaways: An audiogram shows the softest sounds (volume: soft to loud) you hear at each frequency (low to high pitches). The lower the line on the graph, the worse your hearing is at that ...

5. Diagnosis of hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_hearing_loss

   Hearing loss can be ranked differently according to different organisations; and so, in different countries different systems are in use. Hearing loss may be ranked as slight, mild, moderate, moderately severe, severe or profound as defined below: [medical citation needed] Slight: between 16 and 25 dB HL; Mild: for adults: between 26 and 40 dB HL

6. Rinne test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinne_test

   A Rinne test should always be accompanied by a Weber test to also detect sensorineural hearing loss and thus confirm the nature of hearing loss. The Rinne test was named after German otologist Heinrich Adolf Rinne (1819–1868); [3] [4] the Weber test was named after Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795–1878).

7. Pure-tone audiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure-tone_audiometry

   The shape of the audiogram resulting from pure-tone audiometry gives an indication of the type of hearing loss as well as possible causes. Conductive hearing loss due to disorders of the middle ear shows as a flat increase in thresholds across the frequency range. Sensorineural hearing loss will have a contoured shape depending on the cause.
