AIM: To study the utility of Tuning Fork test in quantitative assessment of Conductive Hearing Loss. METHODOLGY: A prospective study with a sample size of 500 was undertaken over 4 months from June 2021 to October 2021 at the out-patient department of ENT at IMCHRC, Indore. Patients of both sexes and aged above 10 years presenting with complaint of decreased hearing were subjected to complete ENT examination including Rinne’s test with three different tuning forks (256, 512, 1024 Hz). Patients were further advised for Pure Tone audiometry. The results were obtained, calculated, compared and correlated with PTA in terms of mild, moderate and severe conductive hearing loss. RESULTS: It has been found that there is a strong correlation between Pure tone audiometry and Tuning fork test with p value <.05, showed correlation between both the methods. CONCLUSION: Rinne’s tuning fork test can be used for screening and can be used as an aiding tool to quantify degree of hearing loss before the patient is subjected to pure tone audiometry in places where the facility of PTA is not available.
