Question
audrey recently has been having a hard time hearing in class. the np examines her ears and notes that she has otitis media. if the np performed a weber test on audrey she would discover that there would be: lateralization to the good ear lateralization to the bad ear lateralization would be equal to either ear.
Otitis media is a conductive - hearing loss condition. In a Weber test, in conductive hearing loss, sound lateralizes to the affected (bad) ear because the problem is in the outer or middle ear which affects the transmission of sound, and the bone - conduction pathway is relatively intact.
