Abstract
Results of the audiometric Weber and Rinne tests were compared to pure tone thresholds in 185 Bantu patients. The frequency of 1000 Hz was selected as being most suitable for Weber and Rinne testing. The Weber was found to be of limited diagnostic value even with unilateral conductive losses whilst the Rinne displays a fair degree of efficiency and is of value as a routine supplement to audiometric threshold tests.
Highlights
OPSOMMING Resultate van die oudiometriese Weber en Rinne toetse is met suiwertoon drempels vergelyk. 185-Bantoe pasiente is as proefpersone gebruik
Die Weber is, selfs met eensydige geleidings verlies, van beperkte diagnostiese waarde gevind, terwyl die Rinne 'n redelike graad van doeltreffendheid getoon het en aanvullend by die oudiometriese drempel toetse gebruik kan word
At the hearing clinic at Baragwanath Hospital, Johannesburg, routine audiometric Weber and'Rinne tests were fairly frequently found to be inconsistent with pure tone thresholds
Summary
OPSOMMING Resultate van die oudiometriese Weber en Rinne toetse is met suiwertoon drempels vergelyk. 185-Bantoe pasiente is as proefpersone gebruik. At the hearing clinic at Baragwanath Hospital, Johannesburg, routine audiometric Weber and'Rinne tests were fairly frequently found to be inconsistent with pure tone thresholds. A large number of pure tone audiograms were compared with audiometric Rinne and Weber results.
