It resonates at a specific constant pitch when set vibrating by striking it against a surface or with an object, and emits a pure musical tone once the high overtones fade out. A tuning fork's pitch depends on the length and mass of the two prongs. They are traditional sources of standard pitch for tuning musical instruments\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical a-spacing-mini\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"a-spacing-mini\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eSENSORY TUNING FORK: You can buy it in set of 128, 256 and 512 Hz and 128, 256, 512 and 1024 Hz frequency tuning forks constructed of steel bar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"a-spacing-mini\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003ePREMIUM QUALITY TUNING FORKS: Netcare Instruments presents 4 the most commonly used frequencies to evaluate hearing and vibratory sensation.

These tests are essential for ENT clinical examination and can be performed without audiometry equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:600;color:#222;margin-bottom:6px;\"\u003eWhat frequencies are in the Netcare tuning fork set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;color:#444;line-height:1.65;margin:0;\"\u003eThe set includes four frequencies: 128 Hz, 256 Hz, 512 Hz, and 1024 Hz. 512 Hz is the most commonly used for the Rinne and Weber tests. 128 Hz is used for vibration sense testing in neurological examination. 256 Hz is used for hearing screening. 1024 Hz for higher-frequency hearing assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:600;color:#222;margin-bottom:6px;\"\u003eWhat is the Rinne test?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;color:#444;line-height:1.65;margin:0;\"\u003eThe Rinne test compares air conduction (AC) to bone conduction (BC) using a 512 Hz tuning fork. The vibrating fork is first held near the ear (AC), then placed on the mastoid (BC). In normal hearing, AC \u0026gt; BC (Rinne positive). In conductive hearing loss, BC \u0026gt; AC (Rinne negative). In sensorineural loss, AC \u0026gt; BC but both are reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:600;color:#222;margin-bottom:6px;\"\u003eWhat is the Weber test?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;color:#444;line-height:1.65;margin:0;\"\u003eThe Weber test uses a 512 Hz tuning fork placed on the centre of the forehead or vertex. In normal hearing, sound is heard equally in both ears. In conductive hearing loss, sound lateralizes to the affected (worse hearing) ear. In sensorineural hearing loss, sound lateralizes to the better (unaffected) ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Netcare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42094607990869,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/3063\/0485\/files\/hartman-tuning-fork-1000x1000.jpg?v=1769453834","url":"https:\/\/netcareinstruments.com\/products\/netcare-tuning-fork-set-128-256-512-1024hz","provider":"Netcare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
