Practice Question
A patient undergoing a Weber test says that the sound is louder in her left ear. What should this result indicate?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Conductive hearing loss in the left ear
Rationale:
🔵 In a Weber test, sound lateralizes to the affected ear in cases of conductive hearing loss.
🔵 The leftward localization suggests the left ear has a conductive issue, like cerumen impaction or fluid buildup.
🔵 This finding helps differentiate from sensorineural hearing loss, which would lateralize to the unaffected ear.
🔵 Conductive hearing loss impacts sound transmission, not nerve conduction, thus altering sound localization.
