Tunning Fork set/5, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048

Clinical Application

This five‑piece tuning fork set provides a compact kit for routine clinical assessment of vibration perception and basic audiologic screening. Lower frequencies (e.g., 128 Hz) are commonly used to assess large‑fiber peripheral neuropathy and vibration sense at distal bony prominences, while 512 Hz is the widely accepted standard for bedside Rinne and Weber tests of conductive versus sensorineural hearing loss. The intermediate (256 Hz) and higher (1024 Hz, 2048 Hz) forks permit additional frequency discrimination and otologic screening where finer pitch differentiation or higher‑frequency bone conduction testing is helpful. The set supports neurology, primary care, podiatry, ENT, and perioperative neurological baseline assessments.

Design & Configuration

Each instrument is a double‑pronged tuning fork designed to produce a stable, sustained vibration when activated by a gentle strike. The double‑prong geometry creates a clear fundamental pitch with minimal harmonic distortion, facilitating reproducible bedside testing. Different nominal frequencies are produced by variations in prong length and mass; clinicians select lower or higher pitches depending on diagnostic goals—lower frequencies travel farther through soft tissues for vibration threshold testing, while midrange frequencies (notably 512 Hz) are optimized for bone conduction audiometry. The handle provides a convenient grip for placement against bony landmarks and for damping the vibration when required.

Instrument Specifications

• Set composition: five double‑pronged tuning forks — 128 Hz, 256 Hz, 512 Hz, 1024 Hz, 2048 Hz
• Typical activation: struck against a firm, nonmetallic surface to initiate vibration
• Clinical uses: neurological vibration threshold testing; bedside Weber and Rinne hearing tests; frequency discrimination
• Reusable design for repeated clinical use

Material & Construction

Constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability appropriate to repeated clinical handling and routine reprocessing. The simple, single‑piece prong/handle design supports ease of cleaning and long service life under normal clinical use.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison
