History and Evolution of the Tuning Fork. [PDF]
CureusThis paper is a summary of the evolution of the tuning fork, a crucial part of the cranial nerves and auditory examination. The tuning fork is a two-pronged fork that resonates at a specific pitch when struck against a surface and has been proven to be incredibly useful in diagnosing and detecting hearing disorders.
