- Foundational tool in both audiology and neurology for basic sensory assessments
- Used primarily for neurological testing to assess vibratory sensation
- The 128 Hz frequency stimulates large nerve fibers, making it useful in diagnosing peripheral neuropathy and other neurological conditions
- Can also be used for basic hearing assessments, though other frequencies (like C512) are often preferred for more detailed auditory tests
Key Features:
-
Frequency: 128C (128 Hz). This lower frequency is ideal for vibratory sensation testing
- Material: Made of aluminum alloy
- Weights: Comes with fixed weights, which help ensure a consistent vibration and make it easier to handle for some tests
- Latex-free
