Hearing Assessment - Sensorineural vs Conductive Hearing Loss - Webers and Rinnes Test - Dr Gill • One of the easier parts of the cranial nerve examination to performed is looking at cranial nerve VIII - the vestibular cochlear system. If a patient comments, or is found to have hearing loss, then we need to determine if that is conductive hearing loss, or sensorineural hearing loss. • We perform a hearing assessment in this case by performing two linked tests - Webers and Rinnes test. These two tests allow us to determine if there is hearing loss from a sensorineural issue, for example menieres disease, age related hearing loss, or a tumour. They also allow testing for a conductive hearing loss, which is most commonly observed in ear wax • It is crucial that the 512hz tuning fork is used for this part of the cranial nerves test, as the 128hz tuning fork should be reserved for testing vibration sensation. • Please note there will always be minor variations in how clinical examinations are performed. You should priorities the input from your educators or institutions in terms of directions used • Some people may find an ASMR effect from these clinical examination videos. • There are two linked videos with this examination: • Cranial nerve examination demonstration - • Cranial Nerve Examination Demonstrati... • Cranial Nerve VIII - The Vestibulocochlear Nerve • • Cranial Nerve VIII - The Vestibulococ... • #CranialNerves #ClinicalSkills #DrGill • You can now consult via video or in person with Dr Gill at Dr Finlay’s Private Practice - https://www.drfinlays.co.uk/services/...
