A
In the Weber test the stem of the tuning fork is placed firmly on the midline of the skull, the forehead, or the front teeth. For the Rinne test the base of an activated tuning fork is held first against the mastoid bone and then in front of the ear canal. If a patient has a conductive hearing loss in one ear, sound is heard louder (lateralizes) in that ear. If a sensorineural loss is present, sound is louder (lateralizes) in the unaffected ear.
