physical examination parts of hear testing in PHC?
screening : by wisper / hair rubbing
otoscopy
tunning fork : rinne/ weber test
suspected result for weber test :
normal : equal in both ear
abnormal : lateralization if
1 conductive : sound louder in affected ear
2 sensorinural :sound louder in good ear
expected result for rinne test ?
air > bone = norma or sensorinural
bone > air = conductive
