Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Rinne test compares the patient's ability to hear sound through bone conduction (placing a tuning fork on the mastoid bone behind the ear) and air conduction (placing the tuning fork near the ear). It is used to differentiate between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Tympanometry and otoscopy are tests that evaluate the middle and outer ear, while the tuning fork test is used to determine the type of hearing loss.
