Looks like a tuning fork for doctors?
The low-pitched tuning fork (C128) is used to test sensation of vibration. Higher pitched tuning forks are used in neurological examinations.
What is the Weber test?
the Weber test. For this test, the stem or handle of the vibrating tuning fork is placed at various points along the midline of the skull and face.
What is the use of tuning fork as a laboratory apparatus?
to asses persons hearing ability specially air conduction versus bone conduction A tuning fork used to be the standard method for checking the musical pitch of instruments. When struck it would vibrate at a definite frequency, which could be heard, and Musical Instruments could then be adjusted to match. Nowadays that is more usually done by electronic oscillators.

When the tuning fork was pressed to the forehead during the weber test where did the sound seem to originate when one ear was plugged with cotton?
Sound will be heard better in the plugged ear because the unplugged ear will be subjected to competing noises from which the plugged ear is spared
Which hearing test uses tuning fork?
Weber test
What is Rinne test?
a hearing test comparing perception of air and bone conduction in one ear with a tuning fork, normally air conduction is more acute

How can hearing be tested?
Hearing can be tested by a tests called audiometric tests, in which the patient is subjected to sounds of varying frequency and intensity and the amount of intensity that has to be raised above the normal level for that particular frequency is plotted on a chart.By this test, the threshold of hearing by air and bone conduction can be known and also type and degree of hearing loss can be assessed. There are various other clinical tests for hearing like finger friction test, watch test, voice test (these are obsolete now) and tuning fork tests- Weber's and Rinne's test.
How is a Weber hearing test performed?
The volume of sound vibrations conducted through parts of the skull and face in the Weber test can indicate which ear may have a hearing loss.
Is bone test and bone marrow test the same thing?
Since there are different types of bone tests, no. For example, a bone density test is a bone test, yet it doesn't test the marrow.
Do the human bones transmit impulses?
Yes. Three tiny bones in middle ear, called as Malleus,Incus and stapes are special bones whose function is to transmit and amplify the sound waves to middle ear. All most all bones can transmit the sense of vibration to central nervous system. you must have seen Ear specialist to put the tuning fork on fore head and then on the bone behind ear ( Mastoid process of temporal bone.) when they test the hearing ability of the patient.
