   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. Diagnosis of hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_hearing_loss

   differential testing – the Weber, Rinne, Bing and Schwabach tests are simple manual tests of auditory function conducted with a low frequency (usually 512 Hz) tuning fork that can provide a quick indication of type of hearing loss: unilateral/bilateral, conductive, or other

4. 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).

   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.

   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.
