Of the following tests, which uses a tuning fork between two positions to assess hearing?

In the Rinne’s test, the examiner shifts the stem of a vibrating tuning fork between two positions to test air conduction of sound and bone conduction of sound.
b) Whisper
The whisper test involves covering the untested ear and, whispering from a distance of 1 or 2 feet from the unoccluded ear, and the ability of the patient to repeat what was whispered.

The watch tick test relies on the ability of the patient to perceive the high-pitched sound made by a watch held at the patient’s auricle.
