This one is pretty well known but thought I'd add it anyway.
Weber's test -
tuning fork on forehead.
Loud on one side:
= conductive loss on same side
or
= sensorineural loss on opposite side
Rinne's test -
tuning fork next to ear and on mastoid process.
Normal = Air louder than bone (+ve rinne's)
Conduction loss = Bone louder than air (-ve rinne's)
Sensorineural = Both the same
Next time you see someone actually doing this test, please take a photo and sent it to me!

Grouch-er's
Gaucher's Disease
This is a lysosomal storage disease caused by hereditory deficiency of glucocerebrosidase. Characterised by hepatomegally and splenomegally due to lipid not being broken down by glucocerebrosidase.
So...here is oscar the grouch (Gaucher's) in his dustbin (distended abdomen from splenomegally & hepatomegally) drinking Cerebro-cider (gluco-cerebro-sidase) which causes neurological complications.
