Weber's and Rinne's test

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

N
ext time you see someone actually doing this test, please take a photo and sent it to me!
