Tuning Forks

Explore our premium selection of medical tuning forks designed for audiology, neurology and general diagnostics. At Quirumed UK, we offer high-quality instruments trusted by ENT specialists, audiologists, and healthcare professionals across the UK.

What Is a Medical Tuning Fork?

A tuning fork is a metal instrument that emits a pure tone when struck. In clinical practice, it's used to perform diagnostic hearing tests and assess vibration sense in neurological exams. Tuning forks are essential tools in Rinne, Weber, and other auditory tests.

Types of Tuning Fork Tests Performed

Different tuning fork frequencies allow healthcare professionals to carry out a wide range of auditory assessments:

• Rinne Test: Assesses air vs bone conduction to detect sensorineural hearing loss.
• Weber Test: Detects lateralisation of sound between ears.
• Bing Test: Observes changes in sound perception via bone conduction.
• Schwabach Test: Measures bone conduction duration.
• Gellé and Lewis Tests: Used for ossicular chain and middle ear assessment.
