| Schwabach's t. |
a hearing test performed, with the opposite ear masked, with tuning forks of 256, 512, 1024, and 2048 Hz, alternately placing the stem of the vibrating fork on the mastoid process of the patient and that of the examiner (whose hearing should be normal) until it is no longer heard by one of them. The result is expressed as “Schwabach prolonged” if heard longer by the patient (indicative of conduction deafness), as “Schwabach shortened or diminished” if heard longer by the examiner (indicative of sensorineural deafness), and as “Schwabach normal” if heard for the same time by both.
