Hartmann Tunning Fork C 4096

Clinical Application

This high-frequency diagnostic tuning fork is intended for use in otology and audiology evaluations. The 4096 Hz stimulus provides a stable, high‑pitched vibration useful for quick bedside screening of auditory function and for differential assessment of air versus bone conduction. It is commonly used during preoperative evaluations, routine ENT exams, and follow-up assessments where a portable, reliable acoustic stimulus is required.

Design & Configuration

The bifurcated two‑pronged geometry produces a clear, sustained resonance when struck and a focused transfer of vibration when placed against the mastoid or forehead. A straight stem handle provides tactile control for precise placement and repeatable testing technique. The tuned frequency of 4096 Hz yields a high‑pitch stimulus that decays predictably, facilitating consistent comparative assessments between ears.
