Weber test

[va´ber] a tuning fork test made by placing a vibrating fork" >tuning fork at some point on the midline of the head and noting whether it is perceived as heard in the midline (normal) or referred to either ear (middle ear disease). If it is heard better in the affected ear, there is conductive hearing loss; if it is heard better in the normal ear, there is sensorineural hearing loss.

Weber test. A, Normal—sound is equally loud in both ears; sound does not lateralize. B, Conductive loss—sound lateralizes to “poorer” ear owing to background room noise, which masks hearing in normal ear. “Poorer” ear (the one with conductive loss) is not distracted by background noise, thus has a better chance to hear bone-conducted sound. Examples: transient conductive loss with serous or purulent otitis media. C, Sensorineural loss—sound lateralizes to “better” ear or unaffected ear. Poorer ear (the one with nerve loss) is unable to perceive the sound. From Jarvis, 2000.

We·ber test

(vā'bĕr), test in which the stem of a vibrating tuning fork is placed on the midline of the head to ascertain in which ear the sound is heard by bone conduction. The sound will be perceived in the affected ear when a unilateral conductive hearing loss is present or in the unaffected ear when there is a unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The result of this test is combined with the result of the Rinne test to interpretation of the type of hearing loss.

Weber test

Neurology A hearing test in which a vibrating tuning fork is used to evaluate hearing by placing it on the middle of the head–the vertex. See Hearing test.
