  2. 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).

    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.

  4. 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.

    In the Weber test a vibrating tuning fork (Typically 256 Hz [7] or 512 Hz [8] used for Weber vibration test; 512 Hz used for Rinne hearing test) is placed in the middle of the forehead, above the upper lip under the nose over the teeth, or on top of the head equidistant from the patient's ears on top of thin skin in contact with the bone. The ...

  9. 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 ...
