- Veins dark red
- No venous tapering at AV crossings
Weber test - Correct-answer-- Stem of a vibrating tuning fork on the midline of
the head, patient indicates in which ear the tone is heard
- Lateralization of sound through bone conduction
- Unilateral conductive loss - sound lateralizes toward affected ear
Unilateral sensorineural loss - sound lateralizes to the normal or better-hearing
side.
Rinne test - Correct-answer-- Vibrating tuning fork 1st placed on mastoid process,
then in front of external auditory canal to test bone vs air conduction of sound
(AC:BC = 2:1)
- Test of conductive hearing loss
AC:BC = 2:1 - Correct-answer-Normal results of Rinne test

Sensorineural hearing loss - Correct-answer-caused by defect in inner ear
distorting sound, age, trauma from loud noises, genetics
Conductive hearing loss - Correct-answer-impaired through external/middle ear;
caused by fluid, object, swelling, ruptured eardrum, ear wax
