Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 256 Hz tuning fork used for?
The 256 Hz tuning fork is the standard frequency used for evaluating vibratory sensation and hearing in neurological and audiological assessments. It is commonly used in the Rinne and Weber tests for hearing evaluation and for peripheral vibratory sensation testing.

What does weighted mean on a tuning fork?
Weighted tuning forks have small weights attached to the tines, which lower the frequency and extend the duration of vibration after striking. This provides a more sustained, consistent vibration for clinical testing compared to unweighted forks.

How do I strike a tuning fork correctly?
Strike the tines firmly against a padded surface such as the heel of your hand or a rubber mallet. Do not strike against hard surfaces, which can damage the tines. Apply the base or the vibrating tines to the test site as appropriate for the assessment being performed.

Is this tuning fork sold individually?
Yes, this listing is sold as a single tuning fork. Adjust the order quantity at checkout if you need multiple units.
