The Rinne test compares bone and air conduction by placing a tuning fork on the mastoid bone of the patient to test hearing acuity.

<h3>What is Rinne test ?</h3>

The Rinne test used for primary evaluation of hearing loss of one ear.

It compares the perception of sound between transmission by air conduction and transmission by bone conduction through mastoid bone.

If the person is unable to hear the tuning fork after it is moved from the mastoid to the pinna, lead to increase in bone conduction than air conduction.

It causes the inhibition of sound wave passage from ear canal to cochlea resulting in conductive hearing loss.
