Interpreting Weber and Rinne tests: Conductive versus sensorineural hearing loss

Interpreting Weber and Rinne tests: Conductive versus sensorineural hearing loss
  Weber lateralizes Rinne test
Conductive loss
Good ear   AC > BC
Bad ear To bad ear BC > AC
Sensorineural loss
Good ear To good ear AC > BC
Bad ear  

AC > BC*

AC > BC: Air conduction better than bone conduction (normal Rinne).
BC > AC: Bone conduction better than air conduction (abnormal Rinne).
* For patients with severe sensorineural hearing loss, the patient may report BC > AC because the sound is being sensed by the "good" (contralateral) ear.
