Tuning forks of various frequencies can be used to test for pallesthesia as well as hearing disorders through the Weber and Rinne tests. This type of testing generally involves selecting a specific frequency of tuning fork (dependent upon the type of test being conducted) and activating it over bone or near the ear canal.
 
ADC offers tuning forks in an assortment of frequencies to provide you with all of the tools you might need to conduct these types of tests.

Older style Adsoft™ eartips are made with PVC and feature integrated threading that will allow them to thread onto Adscope® stethoscopes manufactured before 2014. While comfortable and secure, these eartips can loosen over time and require that the end user perform minimal maintenance in the form of tightening the eartips on their threading.

This will depend on the age of your Adscope® stethoscope. If your Adscope® was manufactured prior to 2014 and has threaded aural tubes, you will need to affix a special adapter to use the new Adsoft™ Plus fitted silicon eartips.
 

Yes! Conversion kits are available that will allow you to affix Adsoft™ Plus eartip adapters on your existing Adscope® stethoscope. Contact our customer service department at 1-800-ADC-2670 for more information about obtaining upgraded eartips for your Adscope® stethoscope.
