Tuning Fork to Diagnose Cause of Clogged Ear or Hearing Loss: Weber and Rinne Tests
https://www.FauquierENT.net - Progressive onset of hearing loss or clogging in one or both ears is a very common symptom that leads to an ENT office visit. However, a simple tuning fork test can be performed at home in order to help diagnose whether a nerve issue is present versus something more benign like ear fluid or earwax.
A C 512 Hz tuning fork is the single best tuning fork to use for these tests and can be easily found for less than $20. https://amzn.to/3b3ExzC
There are two tuning fork test components. The Weber test is performed by firmly placing a vibrating tuning fork in the middle of the forehead. The Rinne test is performed by firmly placing a vibrating tuning fork first against the bone behind the ear followed by near the ear canal opening. When the tuning fork is against the bone, one is performing a bone conduction exam. When the tuning fork is placed near the ear canal, one is performing an air conduction exam.
The patient responds to each test by stating where they hear the sound most loudly for both Weber and bilateral Rinne Tests.
The pattern of responses determine what type of hearing loss or ear clogging cause is present.
So how do these tests work to diagnose an ear problem?
