Hearing VIII: The Rinne test is a comparison of air conduction (TF held in front) to bone conduction (TF held on mastoid) hearing. The TF is held at the rear then the front and the patient is asked 'which is perceived louder back or front' for each ear. Generally AC should be better then BC. Best not to talk during the test, best to ask this afterwards. This gives an indication of whether there is a conductive or sensori-neural loss (at the frequency of the TF). It also helps identify a potential difference between the two ears. For Weber ask 'is it heard in the middle, right or left' middle shows symmetry. As a general pointer with TFs the sound either travels to the greatest conductive loss or the better cochlear. If you can remember this sentence it will help you work it out. Hope this helps. Best of luck

Well done guys - thank you for this! I was a medical student back in 2004 and we didn't have You Tube or you guys then which would have been mighty handy. Studying for my GP exams at the moment and my medical school days have come flooding back. Do you have a video demonstrating how to perform a complete cerebellum test?

[Magnate]

Thank you

Is the patient the student's little brother?!

I notice in this version you don't test acuity in each eye individually?

How can you get this exam down to 5 minutes (we have 5 minute OSCEs)
