Sensitivity and specificity of Rinne tuning fork test.
the site of the placenta. Administration ofanti-D immunoglobulin is routine after invasive procedures in Rh negative patients but is not appropriate for those already sensitised, in whom it would be ineffective.'5 In patients undergoing intra-uterine transfusions, however, fetomaternal haemorrhage may enhance maternal sensitisation. Not only might the disease be worsened in a subsequent pregnan...
متن کاملRinne test: does the tuning fork position affect the sound amplitude at the ear?
BACKGROUND Guidelines and text-book descriptions of the Rinne test advise orienting the tuning fork tines in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the external auditory canal (EAC), presumably to maximise the amplitude of the air conducted sound signal at the ear. Whether the orientation of the tuning fork tines affects the amplitude of the sound signal at the ear in clinical practice has not ...
متن کاملRinne revisited: steel versus aluminum tuning forks.
OBJECTIVE (1) Determine whether tuning fork material (aluminum vs stainless steel) affects Rinne testing in the clinical assessment of conductive hearing loss (CHL). (2) Determine the relative acoustic and mechanical outputs of 512-Hz tuning forks made of aluminum and stainless steel. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, observational. SETTING Outpatient otology clinic. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifty su...
متن کاملThe Judd-Persaud Test: A Simple Office-Based Tuning Fork Test for Unilateral Feigned Hearing Loss
In the current litigious society, separating malingerers from true hearing loss patients is ever more important, especially when compensation for industrial hearing loss is claimed. We present a novel test for feigned hearing loss which is very quick and precise, and utilises equipment readily available in the Otolaryngology office. The test is based on the well established physiological phenom...
