It is commonly used in the Rinne and Weber tests for hearing evaluation and for peripheral vibratory sensation testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does weighted mean on a tuning fork?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeighted 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I strike a tuning fork correctly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrike 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this tuning fork sold individually?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, this listing is sold as a single tuning fork.
