QuestionSBA
QuestionChoice
The patient has a negative Rinne’s test in the right ear and Weber’s test lateralises to the right. In normal hearing, air conduction should be greater than bone conduction and Weber’s test should be heard equally in both ears.

Normal hearing
QuestionChoice
In left sensorineural hearing loss, Rinne’s test would be positive in both ears and Weber’s test would lateralise to the right (the unaffected ear).

A 38-year-old female patient presents to the ENT outpatient clinic with reduced hearing. In the left ear, Rinne’s test is positive. In the right ear, bone conduction is greater than air conduction. Weber’s test lateralises to the right ear.
