Audiometric Weber and Rinne test as compared pure-tone thresholds
Results of the audiometric Weber and Rinne tests were compared to pure tone thresholds in 185 Bantu patients. The frequency of 1000 Hz was selected as being most suitable for Weber and Rinne testing. The Weber was found to be of limited diagnostic value even with unilateral conductive losses whilst...

| description | Results of the audiometric Weber and Rinne tests were compared to pure tone thresholds in 185 Bantu patients. The frequency of 1000 Hz was selected as being most suitable for Weber and Rinne testing. The Weber was found to be of limited diagnostic value even with unilateral conductive losses whilst the Rinne displays a fair degree of efficiency and is of value as a routine supplement to audiometric threshold tests. |
