What innervates the inner ears cochlea and semicircular canals?
CN 8 (auditory nerve)
The weber test is used for both conduct and sensoneural hearing loss.
If lateralization occurs to the good ear, the patient has what type of hearing loss?
Sensorineural loss
Because the inner ear or cochlear nerve damage of bad ear prevents vibration transmission
In the weber test, if lateralization occurs to the impaired ear (room noise not well heard, but vibration improves) what types of hearin gloss is this is what type of hearing loss?
Conductive Hearing Loss
(Pt. says I hear it better in my bad ear, thats funny. You say, that neural transmission is fine, and vibration sensing acutally improves in conductively (inner/middle ear) impaired ears!)
In the Rinne test (mastoid and air test)
What is the abnormal finding that suggests conductive hearing loss?
BC > AC
Bone conduction is greater than air conduction
