Tunning Fork C 2048 Alum.

Clinical Application

This 2048 Hz tuning fork is a handheld diagnostic tool used in otolaryngology and audiology for quick auditory screening and qualitative bone-conduction assessment. It is intended for bedside and clinic use to help differentiate conductive from sensorineural hearing changes when used as part of standard Weber and Rinne testing protocols, and for rapid intraoperative or perioperative checks of bone-conducted sound transmission.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s two-prong fork and stem design produce a clear, sustained pitch when struck, allowing consistent vibratory energy to be transmitted through bone. The stem provides a stable contact point for mastoid placement, while the tines radiate the test tone. Aluminum construction keeps the instrument lightweight for repetitive clinical use and permits rapid manual handling during sequential tests.
