The Rinne test is a hearing assessment that compares air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC) of sound. In a typical result for normal hearing, a person will hear a tuning fork placed on the mastoid bone (BC) longer than when it is held in the air next to the ear (AC). If bone conduction is heard longer than air conduction, it may indicate a conductive hearing loss. Overall, the Rinne test helps differentiate between types of hearing loss and assess auditory function.
