Rinne and Weber testing are useful clinical bedside assessments to
differentiate the two primary causes of hearing loss.
RINNE (+): Air conduction > Bone Conduction [Normal or Sensorineural hearing loss]
RINNE (-): Bone Conduction > Air conduction [Conductive hearing loss]
PROCEED to WEBER if RINNE (+)
