Weber test - Answer✔️✔️-Test done by placing the stem of a vibrating
tuning fork on the midline of the head and having the patient indicate in
which ear the tone can be heard.
Rinne test - Answer✔️✔️-hearing test using a tuning fork; checks for
differences in bone conduction and air conduction

to allergens through a light scratch in skin
if a wheel occurs within the first 15 minutes, the allergist can identify the
substance as a possible allergen
