Product Description
This rubber tuning fork activator is designed to provide controlled, damage-free striking to initiate vibration in tuning forks, avoiding the metal-on-metal damage that can result from striking a tuning fork against a hard surface. It is widely used in physics education, audiology-training demonstrations, and general instructional activities to support sound and vibration experiments. It is an educational and training tool; it is not a substitute for certified clinical audiometry equipment, and any actual hearing assessment should be performed using appropriately certified diagnostic instruments by a qualified professional.
