Video and Description of Weber Hearing Test:

This test helps differentiate between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. The Weber test is done by placing a vibrating tuning form on the middle of the head or forehead equidistant from both ears and then asking the patient if the vibration is heard equally in both ears.

A normal test is when the vibration is heard equally with no lateralization.

An abnormal test is when the vibration is heard louder and lateralizes to one ear. Patients with conductive hearing loss lateralize to the affected ear while patients with sensorineural hearing loss lateralize to the unaffected ear.
