QuestionChoice
In left-sided conductive hearing loss, Rinne’s test would be negative in the left ear (bone conduction > air conduction) and Weber’s test would lateralise to the left ear also.

e
Normal hearing in both ears
QuestionChoice
In sensorineural hearing loss, Rinne’s test is positive (indicating air conduction is better than bone conduction) and Weber’s is heard in the unaffected ear.

A 35-year-old male patient presents to the outpatient ENT clinic with hearing loss. The doctor performs a basic hearing assessment with a tuning fork. On placing the tuning fork in the centre of his head, the patient hears the sound most in his left ear. In both his left and right ears, the sound from the tuning fork was heard loudest when placed in front of the ear rather than on the bone.

What type of hearing loss is this patient experiencing?
