QuestionSBA
QuestionChoice
These Rinne's test results are indicative of left-sided conductive hearing loss but Weber's test results would indicate normal hearing. In conductive hearing loss, Weber's test lateralises to the affected side.

e
Rinne's test left: bone conduction>air conduction
Rinne's test right: air conduction>bone conduction
Weber's test: No lateralisation
QuestionChoice
In sensorineural hearing loss, Weber's test will lateralise to the unaffected side.

c
Rinne's test left: air conduction>bone conduction
Rinne's test right: air conduction>bone conduction
Weber's test: lateralises to left
QuestionChoice
These would be the results in normal hearing.

d
Rinne's test left: air conduction>bone conduction
Rinne's test right: air conduction>bone conduction
Weber's test: No lateralisation
QuestionChoice
In sensorineural hearing loss, air conduction is still better than bone conduction, as it is in normal hearing. However, Weber's test lateralises away from the affected side.

a
Rinne's test left: air conduction>bone conduction
Rinne's test right: air conduction>bone conduction
Weber's test: lateralises to right
QuestionChoice
These would be the results if the patient has left-sided conductive hearing loss.

You assess the hearing of a woman presenting with progressive left-sided hearing loss. The results of Rinne's and Weber's tests suggest she has left-sided sensorineural loss.

Which of these examination results would be supportive of this diagnosis?
