![]() The Rinne test is frequently recommended when one suspects a conductive hearing loss. A Rinne test should be performed in conjunction with a Weber test to help distinguish between conductive hearing loss and sensorineural hearing loss. By comparing air and bone conduction, it helps detect conductive hearing loss in one ear. The Rinne test differentiates sound transmitted through air conduction from those transmitted through bone conduction via the mastoid bone. The Rinne test is used to evaluate hearing loss in one ear. Heinrich Adolph Rinne (1819-1868), a German otologist, proposed the test, which was subsequently named after him. Both of these tests are now routinely taught in medical schools and performed regularly to assess patients with hearing problems. Over the years, many types of tuning forks tests had been developed to assess hearing loss, but today only two have withstood the test of time: Rinne and Weber. ![]() ![]() Outline interprofessional team strategies for enhancing care coordination and communication to advance the diagnosis and management of hearing loss and improve outcomes.Explain how to interpret the findings of the Rinne test.Describe the technique for performing the Rinne test.Identify the anatomical structures involved in hearing loss.This activity highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the care of patients with hearing problems. This activity reviews the indications and techniques involved in performing the Rinne test and interpreting the results. This activity describes the technique of conducting the Rinne test and its clinical relevance. The Rinne test is used when conductive hearing loss is suspected and used in patients with otosclerosis to determine if a patient might benefit from stapes surgery. Both these tests are now routinely taught in medical schools and are performed regularly to evaluate patients with hearing problems. A Rinne test should be done in conjunction with a Weber test to detect sensorineural hearing loss. It can serve as a quick screen for conductive hearing loss. *Please note that shipping charges are usually not covered under warranty.The Rinne test differentiates sound transmission via air conduction from sound transmission via bone conduction.
