The initial evaluation should include an otoscopic examination,
tuning fork tests, and pure tone audiometry.
However, for severe conditions, tests as
tuning fork tests, audiometer tests and app-based hearing tests are commonly referred to."
Tuning fork tests were performed wherever possible.
The procedural execution of both sets of
tuning fork tests for peripheral neuropathy was performed with the subjects lying in the supine position, with eyes closed during testing [43, 44].

tuning fork tests. His pure tone audiometry showed bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss (in Figure 3).

tuning fork tests, pure tone and speech audiometry with and without masking, and tympanometry.
A total of 741 rural school children were examined for ear pathologies using otoscopy and
tuning fork tests. Children who had hearing loss clinically were assessed by Pure Tone Audiometrey in Sri Siddhartha Medical College.
For both test & control groups, a detailed medical history was obtained, and physical examinations including anterior rhinoscopy, posterior rhinoscopy, otoscopy,
tuning fork tests, impedance audiometry, pure tone audiometry, and speech audiometry, as indicated, were performed.
Following
