Rinne Test

A hearing test using a tuning fork to compare air conduction and bone conduction of sound in the ear, used to diagnose types of hearing loss.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
If the Weber test is positive,the patient should undergo the Rinne test to assess the type of hearing loss.The Romberg test is performed to test equilibrium.Pure tone audiometry uses a machine to hear sounds at different volumes while the patient wears a headset.Tympanometry assesses pressure in the ear; it does not assess hearing.
