Koening Tunning Fork A 109

Clinical Application

This precision tuning fork is designed for clinical assessment of auditory function and vibratory sensation at the point of care. It is used by ENT specialists, audiologists and neurologists for comparative tests such as Weber and Rinne, and by surgeons and perioperative clinicians for quick checks of vibration sense on peripheral nerves and bony prominences during neurologic screening.

Design & Configuration

The two-pronged fork geometry produces a sustained, stable vibration when struck; the tines concentrate vibratory energy while the stem provides a safe, tactile interface for placement on bone (mastoid, forehead, malleolus, etc.). The length and mass distribution of the tines influence the instrument’s perceived pitch and decay time—features that matter clinically because consistent vibration characteristics improve repeatability between examiners and across assessments.
