Weber Test - ✔✔Tuning fork test. A client judgest whether sound is perceived

in one or both ears when the fork is placed on the forehead.

,A normal weber test has a patient reporting the sound heard equally in both

sides. In an affected patient, if the defective ear hears the Weber tuning fork

louder, the finding indicates a conductive hearing loss in the defective ear. In an

affected patient, if the normal ear hears the tuning fork sound better, there is

sensorineural hearing loss on the other (defective) ear. However, the aforegoing

presumes one knows in advance which ear is defective and which is normal (such

as the patient telling the clinician that they cannot hear as well in one ear versus

the other) and the testing is being done to characterize the type, conductive or

sensorineural, of hearing loss that is occurring. In the case where the patient is

unaware or has acclimated to their hearing loss, the clinician has to use the

Rinne test in conjunction with the Weber to characterize and localize any

deficits. That is, an abnormal Weber test is only able to tell the clinician that

there is a conductive loss in the ear which hears better or that there is a

sensorineural loss in the ear which does not hear as well.




Rinne Test - ✔✔Client judges whether sound is louder when presented by AC

or BC.

, A normal or positive Rinne test is when the sound heard outside the ear (air

conduction or AC) is louder than the initial sound heard when the tuning fork end

is placed against the skin on top of the mastoid process behind the ear (bone

conduction or BC). Therefore, AC > BC; which is how it is reported clinically for a

normal or positive Rinne result. In conductive hearing loss, bone conduction is

better than air or BC > AC, a negative Rinne.




Microtia, Anotia, Atresia - ✔✔Shouldn't really affect hearing unless canal

blocked off. Could be mild to profound CHL.




Auricular pits/skin tags - ✔✔Probably won't affect hearing




Tympanosclerosis - ✔✔Calcifications on the TM as a result of inflammagion.

White horsehoe shaped marks on the TM.




Exostoses - ✔✔Bony growths in the ear canal. Harmless, possible problem

for insert earphones
