If a vibrating tuning fork is placed on the mastoid process, someone with Conduction Deafness would "hear" the sound.
Explanation:
The hearing capacity of an individual can be tested with the help of The Rinne and Weber tuning-fork tests. In the Weber test the tuning for is made to vibrate and is placed in the forehead,in the skull,in the upper incisor teeth or in the chin. If there is no lateralization of the sound energy that is being generated by the fork occurs then it is considered to be a normal response.
When this vibrating tuning fork is kept near the air, the deaf persons cannot hear the sound. When it is paced on the mastoid process and still it is vibrating, the person cannot hear the sound can be considered to have Nerve Deafness. The person having Conduction Deafness would be haering this sound.
