Rinne's test
Associated persons:
Heinrich Adolf Rinne
Dagobert Schwabach
Description:
A hearing test using a tuning fork to compare the duration of bone conduction with that of air conduction. Normally air conduction of the sound of a tuning fork is longer than transmission of bone – if altered there is an abnormality of conduction, not perception. It is the single most common office test.
Se also Schwabach's test, under Dagobert Schwabach, German otologist, 1846-1920.
