Tunning Fork C 1024 Alum.

Clinical Application

This tuning fork is intended for bedside and clinic-based audiologic and neurologic assessments. The C 1024 frequency is used for bone-conduction testing such as Weber and Rinne maneuvers to help distinguish conductive from sensorineural hearing loss, and for assessment of peripheral vibration sense in neurological examinations. Its clear, high-frequency tone provides a reproducible stimulus for comparative testing and documentation of baseline or follow-up status.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features the standard two-prong fork geometry with a rigid stem and ergonomic handle to allow controlled striking and placement against bony landmarks (mastoid, forehead, or limb). The two-prong design concentrates vibrational energy into a stable pitch; the stem transmits those vibrations reliably to bone for accurate bone-conduction assessment. The single-piece construction minimizes energy loss at joints and simplifies handling during rapid clinical testing.
