- In the medical profession, tuning forks remain a preferred method of testing for certain types of hearing loss.
- Testing for hearing loss with a tuning fork is called a Rinne test.
- The Rinne test involves a doctor placing a humming tuning fork near the patient’s skull.
- The doctor will then place the fork near the patient’s ear.
- Using a stopwatch, the doctor will time how long the patient can hear it by the skull and the ear.
- If the patient feels the fork more through the jaw than they can hear it through the ear, there is a problem conducting soundwaves.
- In addition to hearing loss, the tuning fork can be used to evaluate a wide range of other health problems.
