Of the following tests, which uses a tuning fork between two
positions to assess hearing?
a) Rinne’s
In the Rinne’s test, the examiner shifts the stem of a vibrating tuning
fork between two positions to test air conduction of sound and bone
conduction of sound.
b) Whisper
The whisper test involves covering the untested ear and, whispering
from a distance of 1 or 2 feet from the unoccluded ear, and the ability
of the patient to repeat what was whispered.
c) Watch tick
The watch tick test relies on the ability of the patient to perceive the
high-pitched sound made by a watch held at the patient’s auricle.
d) Weber’s
The Weber’s test uses bone conduction to test lateralization of sound.
