Bing test

The Bing test, was devised by German otologist Albert Bing. The test uses a low-frequency tuning fork to test for the occulsion effect. The tuning fork can be replaced by a bone-conduction vibrator in the audiometric Bing test.

The Bing test can simulate unilateral (one-sided) conductive hearing loss results by placing a finger in one ear while performing the Weber test.
