Combined loss should be explained[edit]

Please explain combined loss! Conductive and perceptive or lost on both ears, what do you mean?

needs a template linking to other exams/tests[edit]

Is there not a better picture than can be used?[edit]

Because seriously the current picture is an abomination to look at. The article is better without it.

I agree, is there any objection to removing it? It looks like a joke. 103.224.116.235 (talk) 14:11, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions by UIowaGrad moved here[edit]

As a description of old tuning fork testing used in the past to establish the type and degree of hearing loss, this page could be improved, in my opinion, by adding information on the tuning fork Bing Test. E.g., a brief description is:


"The Bing test is based on the principle that occlusion of the external auditory meatus improves the perception of bone-conducted sounds unless there is a conductive hearing impairment. " Additions would need references to the test that exist in the literature.

The text also describes the Rinne test, that is not the subject of the heading. So the heading should be changed OR reference made to the Wikipedia page on the Rinne.

Also the Rinne test description can be expanded to show that the amount of the air bone gap can be identified by describing the frequency of the tuning fork in which the BC>AC reverts to AC>BC. Check that out in the literature.

Here is what the Wikipedia page says about the Rinne test: This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
