👂Weber's test is used to determine the type of deafness in a person.
👉In conductive deafness, lateralization occurs toward the affected ear.
👐In sensorineural deafness, lateralization occurs away from the affected ear.
🔊Weber's test involves using a vibrating tuning fork and observing the patient's response.
🗣️The test helps determine the conduction of sound through bone and air.

00:00Weber's test is used to differentiate between conductive deafness and sensorineural deafness.
00:32In conductive deafness, lateralization occurs toward the affected ear.
00:57In sensorineural deafness, lateralization occurs away from the affected ear.
01:18Weber's test involves using a vibrating tuning fork.
02:32Conductive deafness can be confirmed by comparing air conduction and bone conduction.
03:00Sensory neural deafness can also be determined through the Weber's test.
04:12Using the Schwaback test, hearing can be compared between patients and the examiner.
05:28A normal person should not show lateralization in the Weber's test.
