Sklar Aluminum Tuning Fork, C Series
An aluminum alloy tuning fork used for hearing and neurological testing, available in frequency models from C-64 to C-4096. It is a standard item in professional surgical instrument trays.
The Sklar Aluminum Tuning Fork is a diagnostic instrument used by clinicians to assess hearing function and certain neurological responses, such as vibration sense, by striking the fork and observing or timing the patient's perception of the resulting tone. This listing spans seven frequency models, from C-64 up through C-128, C-256, C-512, C-1024, C-2048 and C-4096, each sold separately, giving audiologists, ENT specialists and general practitioners the ability to build a testing set that covers the specific frequency range their examinations require.
Lower frequency forks such as C-64 and C-128 are commonly used for vibration sense testing in neurological exams, while higher frequencies further up the range support various hearing assessment protocols including Rinne and Weber tests. Constructed from aluminum alloy, the forks are lightweight and produce a clear, consistent tone when struck correctly.
Clinics performing routine hearing or neurological screening typically stock several frequencies from this range rather than a single fork.
