This would indicate bone conduction is better than air conduction in the unaffected ear.

d
Weber's lateralises to left ear
QuestionChoice
Otitis media is a form of conductive hearing loss, that affects air conduction. In this type of hearing loss, Weber's lateralises to the affected ear as bone conduction is better than air conduction.

a
Weber's lateralises to right ear
QuestionChoice
This would indicate air conduction is better than bone conduction in the affected ear.

c
Rinne's positive in right ear
QuestionChoice
This would indicate there is no conductive hearing loss in the affected ear, which is unlikely.

An 8-year-old boy is brought into GP with 2 day history of ear pain in his right ear and reduced hearing. On examination, he has a red swollen tympanic membrane in the right ear, normal examination of left ear.

The GP diagnoses him with otitis media. What will be the observations on doing Weber’s and Rinne’s tests on him?
