French Tunung Fork C-1 32

Clinical Application

This diagnostic tuning fork is intended for use in otolaryngology and neurology settings to assist clinicians in basic auditory screening and differential testing of conductive versus sensorineural hearing loss. Common clinical uses include Weber and Rinne tests at the bedside, pre‑operative baseline assessments in ENT clinics and ambulatory surgery centers, and focused cranial nerve or vibration sense evaluations when indicated.

Design & Configuration

The two‑tine design with a central stem provides a reliable vibrating element and a stable point of contact for mastoid or near‑ear air conduction testing. The French pattern configuration offers a familiar ergonomic profile for controlled striking and placement, helping clinicians reproducibly transmit bone conduction while minimizing energy loss. The stem/handle geometry supports single‑handed operation and precise positioning during routine diagnostic maneuvers.
