How otosclerosis presents with Weber and Rinne test - detAiLed ANSWeR- Weber: Sound
lateralizes to impaired ear. Room noise not well heard, so detection of vibrations improves
- Rinne: BC longer than or equal to AC. While air conduction through the external or middle ear
is impaired, vibrations through bone bypass the problem to reach the cochlea.
