Answer to Question 1

The tuning fork is an instrument that, when struck at the forked end, vibrates and thus can be heard or felt.
Two types of hearing loss (conductive and perceptive) may be distinguished using a tuning fork. There are several types of tests that use a tuning fork, Weber test, Bing test, and Schwabach test, but the most commonly used test is the Rinne test.
The Rinne test compares bone conduction hearing with air conduction. After being struck, the vibrating tuning fork is held on the mastoid process until sound is no longer heard by the patient.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
