When I was a kid somehow I ended up in a doctor's office and he struck a large tuning fork and put it on top of my head. He asked me if I could hear it in my left ear and then in the right ear, and which ear it was loudest. I could hear it in both ears. I would like to know if this test is known and what it was for. ---ric ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Neely <tlneely@mindspring.com> To: <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2002 8:41 PM Subject: Re: Tuning forks in the medical profession? | My father in law war an orthopedic surgeon.
