Weber Test - ANSWER-performed with a tuning fork (500-1,000 Hz). The test
measures the patient's ability to hear sound bilaterally. The tuning fork is tapped
gently, and the base of the tuning fork is placed on the midline of the patient's head.
The patient should hear the vibration equally in both ears
Rinne Test - ANSWER-This test uses a tuning fork to assess and compare the
patient's ability to hear both through bone and air conduction. The vibrating tuning
fork is placed on the patient's
mastoid bone (bone conduction). When the patient indicates the tuning fork is no
longer heard, the examiner positions the tines of the fork in front of the ear (air
conduction) until the patient signals that the sound is no longer heard in that manner.
The amount of time the patient hears the vibration in both positions is noted, and the
maneuver is repeated on the opposite side. Air conduction should be twice as long
as
bone, and the results should be similar for both ears.
Tympanocentesis - ANSWER-involves aspiration of middle ear fluid by a specialist,
