1 RINNE TEST BOTH SIDE POSITIVE AND WEBER WITHOUT LATERALIZATION

2 RINNE LEFT SIDE NEGATIVE AND WEBER WITH LEFT LATERALIZATION

3 RINNE RIGHT SIDE NEGATIVE AND WEBER WITH RIGHT LATERALLIZATION

4 RINNE POSITIVE BOTH SIDE AND WEBER WITH LEFT LATERALIZATION

5 RINNE POSITIVE BOTH SIDE AND WEBER WITH RIGHT LATERALIZATION

RINNE TEST:The Rinne test is performed by placing a vibrating tuning fork initially on the mastoid process until sound is no longer heard, the fork is then immediately placed just outside the ear. Normally, the sound is audible at the ear.

In a normal ear, air conduction is better than bone conduction , and this is called a positive Rinne.
In conductive hearing loss, bone conduction is better than airand this is called a negative rinne
In sensorineural hearing loss, bone conduction and air conduction are both equally depreciated ,rinne positive

In the Weber test a tuning fork is struck and the stem of the fork is placed on the top of the patient's skull - equal distance from the patient's ears, in the middle of the forehead - equal distance from the patient's ears or above the upper lip over the teeth. The patient is asked to report in which ear the sound is heard louder.

A patient with a unilateral conductive hearing loss would hear the tuning fork loudest in the affect
sensorineural hearing loss would hear the sound loudest in the unaffected eared ear


1 normal
2 conductive hearing loss in the left ear
3 conductive hearing loss in the rigth ear
4 sensorineural hearing loss in the right ear
5 sensorineural hearing loss in the left ear
