  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. Rinne test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinne_test

    Air conduction should be greater than bone conduction, so the patient should be able to hear the tuning fork next to the pinna (outer ear) after they can no longer hear it when held against the mastoid. This normal result is paradoxically called a positive Rinne test (as a positive medical test usually indicates an abnormality).

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romberg's_test

    Romberg's test is positive if the patient falls while the eyes are closed. Swaying is not a positive sign as it shows proprioceptive correction. [4] Patients with a positive result are said to demonstrate Romberg's sign or Rombergism. They can also be described as Romberg's positive. The basis of this test is that balance comes from the ...

    People with depression may be more prone to experiencing period pain, potentially due to genetic factors in part, a new study has found.

  9. Tympanometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanometry

    In evaluating hearing loss, tympanometry permits a distinction between sensorineural and conductive hearing loss, when evaluation is not apparent via Weber and Rinne testing. Furthermore, in a primary care setting, tympanometry can be helpful in making the diagnosis of otitis media by demonstrating the presence of fluid build up in the middle ...
