With sensorineural hearing loss, air conduction is heard longer than bone conduction in affected ear, but less than 2:1 ratio Weber Test - ANSWER_A vibrating tuning fork is placed in the middle of the forehead. The patient is asked to report in which ear the sound is heard louder. A normal test has a patient reporting the sound heard equally in both sides. In an affected patient, if the defective ear hears the Weber tuning fork louder, the finding indicates a conductive hearing loss in the defective ear. In an affected patient, if the normal ear hears the tuning fork sound better, there is sensorineural hearing loss on the other (defective) ear. However, the aforegoing presumes one knows in advance which ear is defective and which is normal and the testing is being done to characterize the type, conductive or sensorineural, of hearing loss that is occurring.
