The Weber test is a quick screening test for hearing. When the sound is louder in one ear, it suggests a conductive hearing loss in that ear because the sound is being conducted more efficiently in the ear with the problem. In this case, since the sound is louder in the right ear, it suggests a conductive hearing loss in the opposite ear, the left ear, because the sound is being "localized" to the ear with better nerve function.
