Only if you find a way for the tuning fork to be in direct contact with your eardum

So just mold one while the shape is right against your ear 😁

And why shouldn't indirect contact be suitable? Hold it in your teeth for example. I imagine something would even get through merely holding it in your hand.

Don't do that, you don't need to do that. Just hold it to your temple, or any nearby area where there is bone just under the skin.

If it was touching the skin near the ear youd hear it. Just like bone induction earbuds. The sound would travel through the skin, then bone, to your eardrum.
