Why Choose a 512Hz Tuning Fork?

A 512Hz tuning fork is widely regarded as the best frequency for hearing tests because it produces a tone that is easily heard by the human ear and decays at an optimal rate for accurate comparison between air and bone conduction.

It is commonly used to:

  • Perform Rinne tests (air vs bone conduction)
  • Perform Weber tests (detect lateralisation of hearing loss)
  • Screen for conductive vs sensorineural hearing loss
