Alfred Gardiner Brown (1838-1882) M.R.C.S.Eng., F.R.C.S.(Ed.) [Elektronische Daten] His contribution to the history of the development of the tuning fork [John B. Booth] Alfred Gardiner Brown was the first designated Aural Surgeon to be appointed to the consultant staff of The London Hospital, at the age of 38. In July 1880 he published the paper showing his adaptation of the way in which the tuning fork was applied to the head and its use in measuring hearing power by comparing it with the sense of touch. Had he been blessed with a longer life it is highly probable that he would have made a significant contribution as he was of an innovative and inventive mind. He died at the age of 44.
