About this document
Weber and Rinne Hearing Tests Explained by Stephen Yor is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the anatomy and physiology of hearing. It discusses the parts of the ear - outer, middle, and inner ear. Sound waves enter the outer ear and cause the eardrum and bones of the middle ear to vibrate, transferring sound to the inner ear. Hair cells in the cochlea detect different frequencies and send nerve impulses to the brain. The Weber and Rinne tests are described to evaluate hearing loss. The Weber test determines if sound is louder on one side. The Rinne test compares air vs. bone
