A tuning fork is a metal instrument with two prongs or tines and a handle. When hit, tuning forks vibrate at a specific frequency, producing a musical tone.

A vibrating tuning fork held adjacent to the ear or against the skull causes the inner ear to vibrate, which can assist identify if there is hearing loss.
