Rinne Test Procedure Quiz

What is the first step in performing the Rinne Test?

• Preparation & Patient Positioning

• Selection & Activation of the Tuning Fork

• Bone Conduction (BC) Test

• Air Conduction (AC) Test

What type of tuning fork should be used for the Rinne Test?

• 256 Hz

• 512 Hz

• 1024 Hz

• 128 Hz

What does a Rinne-positive result indicate?

• Normal hearing

• Conductive hearing loss

• Sensorineural hearing loss

• Both A and C

What should be avoided when activating the tuning fork?

• Striking on hard surfaces

• Striking on soft surfaces

• Using a lower frequency tuning fork

• Using a higher frequency tuning fork

What is the purpose of the Weber Test in relation to the Rinne Test?

• To assess air conduction

• To assess bone conduction

• To differentiate between sensorineural and conductive hearing loss

• To prepare the patient

What is the normal relationship between air conduction and bone conduction?

• AC > BC

• AC < BC

• AC = BC

• None of the above

What should be done if the Rinne Test suggests hearing loss?
