@pistoloffire1 As I'm sure you know there are several variations on these tests. Either one is fine as long as the student can justify its use; the one shown generally takes the shortest amount of time.
Also, still using a tuning fork?! Is NHS so bloody cheap that they won't even spring for a basic RadioEar bone conductor for your friggin audiometers?! Sheesh!
When I took my hearing aid dispenser licensing test in Atlanta **IN 1985** we would have #FAILED if we used a tuning fork!

rinne test is completely wrong. place on mastoid until sound cannot be heard, then switch to air conduction. oxford nowadays...

@pistoloffire1 yeah I was taught that way too, but in practice it's much faster to it this way and works just as well.

um, i thought you were supposed to press it onto the mastoid process?

@Gazzzario The mastoid process is commonly used but any bony prominence close to the meatus is equally good.
