textbook(see pages 338-339) Explain how to perform both the weber test and the
rinne test and discuss the significance of each perform the weber and rinne test
on your lab partner and record findings.
Ans: A rinne test evaluates hearing loss by comparing air conduction to bone.
Air conduction hearing occurs through air near the ear, and it involves the
Ear canal and eardrum.

A weber test is another way to evaluate conductive and sensorineural

Hearing losses.

The findings i have see to my client using rinne test is normal hearing will
show an air conduction time that is twice as long as the bone conduction
time. And using the weber test the results is normal hearing will produce
Equal sound in both ears.

4. Examine the ears of an elderly client, friend or relative and report your findings.
Compare your findings with the variation of findings in the elderly discussed in
The textbook.
Ans. after examined the ears of my client using the rinne test and weber test
