Frequently Asked Questions About Tuning Forks

A 128 Hz tuning fork is commonly used during neurological assessment of vibration perception because it produces a readily perceptible mechanical vibration when applied appropriately to a bony prominence. Examination technique and interpretation should follow the healthcare professional's clinical protocol.

A 512 Hz tuning fork is commonly preferred for routine bedside Rinne and Weber hearing tests because it provides a useful balance of audible tone duration and reduced tactile vibration. Tuning-fork tests are bedside examination aids and do not replace formal audiometry when clinically indicated.

The 128 Hz fork produces stronger tactile vibration and is commonly selected for vibration-sense examination. The 512 Hz fork is commonly preferred for bedside hearing examinations such as Rinne and Weber. The correct frequency should be selected according to the examination being performed.

Choose a single tuning fork when one defined frequency is required. A set can be more practical for medical colleges, clinical skills laboratories, hospitals and professionals who need several frequencies for examination, demonstration or training.
