Weber test- tuning fork in midline of skull- localizes hearing loss to one side or the other- if it is a conductive loss, patient hears better on side of defect. If it is sensorineural hearing loss, hearing is better on opposite side of defect. Rinne test- place tuning fork on mastoid process until patient can no longer hear vibrations, then place tuning fork next to external auditory meatus- if patient cannot perceive vibrations- BC ( bone conduction) is better than AC(air) and patient has a conductive hearing loss on that side.
If AC is better than BC, then that is the normal ear.
