A middle aged women presented with right sided hearing loss , Rinne's test shows positive result on left side & negative result on right side. Weber's test showed lateralisation to left side. Diagnosis is :
The Rinne tuning fork test is sensitive in detecting conductive hearing losses. A Rinne test compares the ability to hear by air conduction with the ability to hear by bone conduction.Normally and in the presence of sensorineural hearing loss, a tone is heard louder by air conduction than by bone conduction.With a unilateral conductive hearing loss, the tone is perceived in the affected ear. With a unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, the tone is perceived in the unaffected ear. So in this case it is right sided sensorineural deafness.
Right sided conductive deafness
Right sided sensorineural deafness
Left sided sensorineural deafness
Left sided conductive deafness
