Bone Conduction in Otosclerosis [PDF]
BMJ, 1948 OTOSCLEROSIS has always been described as typical conduction deafness. The reason for this description is that until recent years Rinne's and Schwabach's tests, on which the diagnosis between conduction and perceptive deafness depends, were always performed with a low-pitched tuning fork, usually middle C (256 vibrations per second); and in ...
