A hearing test, primarily for evaluating the loss of hearing in one ear. It compares perception of sounds transmitted by air conduction to those transmitted by bone conduction through the mastoid.

A variant of the Rinne test: a hearing test made with the opposite ear masked placing the stems of the vibrating tuning forks on the mastoid process of the patient first and then of the examiner. If heard longer by the patient it indicates conductive hearing loss and if heard longer by the examiner it indicates sensorineural hearing loss in the patient.

A quick screening test for hearing loss.
