Rinne’s Fork Tests
• Normal hearing or problem in the inner ear
will make hearing by air in front of the ear
same with the hearing by bone conduction
behind the ear.
• If the bone conduction is better than the air
conduction, the hearing loss might be in the
external ear or in the middle ear.

Weber’s Fork Tests
• In normal
hearing patient,
sound will be
heard on both
ears equally.
![Page 11: COMMUNITY-BASED SCREENING OF HEARING FUNCTION Community... · Schwabach’s Fork Test •“Schwabach prolonged” if heard longer by the patient. •“Schwabach shortened or diminished”](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050717/5e48ef12ba65c229e21864e3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Weber’s Fork Test
• If sound is only heard on the better ear, then
the reported ear with hearing loss has
sensorineural hearing loss.
• If the patient heard the sound in the reported
poorer ear, then, the said problem ear might
have conductive hearing loss.
