Conductive hearing loss is due to a defect in the sound-conducting apparatus.

Rinne negative - bone conduction is greater than air conduction

beware the false negative Rinne - a patient with severe or even total sensorineural deafness may in fact hear the bone-conducted sound in the opposite, functioning cochlea

Weber's test - sound is heard better in the deaf ear
