Nerve06/eyes and ears/Rinne test

  (top) Immediately after a vibrating tuning fork is placed on the mastoid process, sound can be heard.

 (middle) When the vibration weakens, sound can no longer can be heard.

 (bottom) Immediately after the sound can no longer be heard, if the fork is moved very close to the auricle, the sound will be heard again in normal people, because of the amplification effect in the conductive process, taking plce in the outer and middle ear.  In those with conductive hearing impairment, the vibration will not be amplified, and no sound would be heard.
